Spindoctor Spell...They play the news and they play the blues,
They sell and they write the Bills,
They sign them because somebody wined them,
Black gold - the legislators' best friend.
They say there's no warming,
The broken ice is swarming,
Hurricanes are growing,
Supercyclones are blowing,
Houses and cities wiped from the map,
The whole world's a sink filling from the black tap,
No worries they say - just shorten the maps.
Well you can go to an oil-man's well,
It's glowing evil red like the demon eyes of Hell,
Whatever you do just don't look,
At what's going on where the sands are getting shook.
I've got a friend who's quite Spinny,
She's down somewhere where it's just been windy,
I'm saying prayers so I know she'll be fine,
She'll bust out her poems and Queensland will fall back in line,
She's the antidote to these nuts who spin,
They're counter-clockwise but she's wiser and clockwise from them,
All kindness and smiles and uplifting poetry and art,
So let's all pray for Spinny to do a spin-doctor spell,
And she'll come back to us here writing poetry hale and well,
Because we could so use the innocence of a child to lead us,
And just maybe we can pray for the rest of Queensland to rise from the dust.
