about

A track about the NT intervention when John Howard suspended the Immigration act & sent the army into Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory.

lyrics

TROOPS ARE MOVING NORTH (LETS GET PISSED & SPEW)

4 bars intro then all the others only 2 bars before verses

Troops are moving north
Got no education
Canberra said
‘OCCUPATION’


Troops are moving north
Into communities
Treat you like a criminal
This white man disease. (what you say)

LETS GET PISSED & SPEW


Troops are moving north
Suspend the law
Doesn't really matter
Cause their fucking poor.

Troops are moving north
Scoping out the bush
Checking out the minerals
It’s a Real estate push

LETS GET PISSED & SPEW

Break – same chords – solo guitar or talk 12 patterns

Troops are moving north
Clean up all the mess
Ready for the Chinese
To invest

Troops are moving north
Take away your rights
Rape & pillage
These Sacred sites (what you say)



LETS GET PISSED & SPEW

Houston's music is mellowed, rocky & psyche-folk treatment of themes dear to his heart. It swerves like an old Holden across the desert, careering from the angst of the traveling songwriter to the troubles of our dear heaving continent.
