Lyrics

Universal Aria
Born on seven continents
One hundred and ninety-eight Countries
All at once
Cigarette between
His finger and his thumb
Four thousand years of human history
24 rotations round the sun
Played a page of Nero's orchestra
And then he sang a song
It was the Universal Aria
And he preached
To a mahogany tabletop
On which sat a plate of ordinary figs
And the sun rose on a blonde home
Giving homage to a temple
And a smile of straight white teeth
Adorned in a long green jacket
And a viewing of La Haine
And a roadtrip round the world
And I survive on an Ethiopian wallet
And the lessons I was taught
By a boy with a badge in his heart
And a love for reform
With reformation in his heart
The light within his window
Means he's home
For a break
From overtaking Western ministries
Eight thousand kilometres to a surgery
For the Aboriginal Race
Then to the national Parliament
To end an era of disgrace
And my memory recalls a certain
Late-night shopping trip
Spent in a parking lot mall
Across three names
And every day on the 86 line
I pass a government dump
Testament to a state crime
And everyday when I pass that land
The building where he lived
Gets knocked down in my mind
And every time I'm on Swanston Street
I remember the crowds
And the blonde's fist in the march
For everything he hated
And everything lost
And everyone he knew
This country'd forgot
For everything jaded
And everything decayed
For the 21st century delayed
For fighting at the steeple and for
Fighting at the house
For fighting in the streets
At the mind of a mouse
And the last time I saw him
At a house under siege
And the last time we spoke
Eating duck with the Queen
With a fight to the end
In a straight jacket ward
Breaking his heart every
Day against an Australian Court
And I'll cry every day
For the rest of my life
I'll miss you when I'm old
I still think of you at night
