Anzac day is my big day of the year. starting with the morning service then a few
beers with the service boys and then more beers and two up with my mates at the rissole
Ive been doing that since i was old enough to drink
and will continue to honor them till the day i die.
we give this song a bit of a go late Anzac day
Dave Warner's song Convict streak.
by An Australian for Australians
in search of our culture
Maybe its because of our convict streak
we want to fight everyone we meet
Anzac day is our day of the year
we march our march we drink our beer
we dont like slopes we dont like yanks
Id personally like to blow up
every commie tank
We're only a few but we fought in Nam
Packed our guns alongside uncle sam
ask any of us, it were no sin
The only crime was that we didnt win
I'm Australian we all are
we watch our telly and we drive our car
but dont you ever SAY WE'RE WEAK
all youll learn about our convict streak
(chorus)
The poms are week as piss
the french are queer
the Germans are wankers
but they make good beer
dont criticise what you dont understand
if you think i'm talking ****
you dont belong in this land
The world began with Adam and Eve
but australia started at gallipoli
our father put the desert into desert rats
their uncles slipped the boot in
up in lambing flats
dont criticize what you dont understand
its not that were behind in the times
we're in a different land
we might be slobs BUT WE'RE NOT WEAK
maybe its becourse of our convict streak
I'm Australian so are you
it doesn't matter if your ding or Jew
just remember while you're here
you march our march and you drink our beer.
Top choice mate - good suburban Willagee boy ..... Thanks Diggers we are here because of the guts you lads showed
It's beer o clock early for me tomoz
Cheers weirsy and all others here
I started going to dawn service in 96 and haven't missed one since. I have gradually built up a crew which we go to dawn service with then grab breaky a local cafe and have a good chat. I will never miss a dawn service as long as I live as I feel it is the least I can do for the Diggers. Unless the Mrs or kids are really crook I will always attend and if I am ever crook well I will say get out of bed you weak pr1ck and remember the diggers that made the ultimate sacrifice.
Lest we forget
Nice work fellas. The GF's two brother are in the NZ army and we will be reflecting on their efforts and those of everyone else (my Grandfather especially) all day tom.
They have done and continue to do an amazing job - something that I do not have the bottle for myself.
Good stuff boys, some great posts.
Anzac day is great day, not just for rembering those who have sacrificed and fallen but the life their efforts have allowed us to have, the sacrifices should never be forgotten or underestimated.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.
Lest we forget.
^^ great song Scotty, and some great photos in the other clip.
Chrispy, it's awesome Farking... Channel 9 on the other hand.. Very poor, no Anzac day footy. Looks like its back to the pub.
