comprehend your pride very well, although i'm not australian. this song accompanies me for more than twenty years and is currently the favourite lullaby for my eighteen months old son as he not yet able to understand the meaning because of his age and his native language. but the length and the wonderful melody of the song appease him reliably.
so when i came over from germany for the brixton gig on 21st, it was one the highlights of that really great concert and i fulfilled my long lasting dream to see the boys in their country, since i saw them for the first time twenty years ago in essen in december 1990, followed by several times in the early nineties without shane and then last summer in münster.
And now i got another everlasting memory for my life!
