30 Odd Foot Of Grunts - The legend of Barry Kable lyrics

<b>The legend of Barry Kable</b> by <i>30 Odd Foot Of Grunts</i><br />It was Barry's dad that committed the deed

That mapped out the life young Barry would lead

Eagle on his chest, he'd roar at the wilderness

'Til the stars came out in his own head

Now he waits at the post office for delivery

Walks down to the Talbot just in time for tea

At least at the hostel, they won't steal your steaks

My name is Barry and I brought my own plate

Well he'd ride with me, spit on me

Take me on in Crown street

He crossed that road like a river

Painter and Docker, piss-head boxer

But a Rose of Australia was mad Barry

Dog in the moonlight

Gentleman when he was right

He just dropped dead in

The bottle shop of the Gaslight

Well he'd ride with me, spit on me

Take me on in Crown street

He crossed that road like a river

I met Barry's boy driving him to Mc Kinnon

He confessed to me he'd been doin' it hard

Looked like his dad, only braver

Well I might have helped him

If I could just give the drink away

Well he'd ride with me, spit on me

Take me on in Crown street

He crossed that road like a river

Well he'd ride with me, spit on me

Take me on in Crown street

He crossed that road like a river

Like a river

Like a river

He crossed that road like a river
