What
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
What has this looney said
I think he must be off his head.
Some drunken fool
Past his prime
Copying things from ancient times
Hard to see
Not much
Flow
Out of the loop
Not in the show
The real attraction
You may find
Written on your hearts
And minds
So some raving fool
Sends a message
Heavens above
Search for yourself
If you want
To find
Love
