lyrics

Old Mate (Who Owns the Law?)

We walked, so we did, in the Garden of the Blessed
In Mildura
In the sunshine
In the vines
She sang of our dreams with her hand on her Breast when a jealous wind went running up her spine
She said
I was your saviour and she was your whore
And the world was your oyster but it won’t be no more

Hotel beds - we never sleep out on the road
Under the stars, those southern skies, the law is not our own
The only thing we should have kept from Europe’s moral code
Is Dare to Know, Dare to Know

Who owns the Law?

Old mate said, they only serve us prison wine
We stand outside the Chinese caff, the police watch us dine
But carnage for ourselves and No One else is not a crime
It’s not a crime

The levellers and the straighteners
They covet
These open clearings
For their car-yards and their prisons
Wardens!
All we need from Europe is the watchword
Dare to Know

Who owns the Law?
