about

The Gold Coast is certainly a Strange Brew. The water that travels from the mountain to the sea brings with it changes to the environment as it flows. The harmony and dissonance between the natural and the not so natural parts of this city create unique environments. Maybe one day the river might swallow everything up.

There were so many more lyrics I could have written into this song, so many more ingredients to the brew.

lyrics

I am a strange brew
A Eucalyptus tree and a cockatoo
One part town and two parts the moon
Swallow me up and I’ll swallow, swallow you too

I am the way and I am the will
The Singapore Daisy that smothers the hill
The eel fares and the ocean swells
Stare deep in my water and be bound, be bound by my spell

I am a strange brew
A kingfisher in a Tuckeroo
Singing songs that are lost and songs that are new
Songs that will take you deep into, deep into the blue

I am the buildings that will fall into the sea
The damselflies and the stingless bees
Incant your worships and your jubilees
Summon my water and set me free
Set me free

I am a strange brew
A platypus and a bush rat too
One part town and two parts the moon
Swallow me up and I’ll swallow you too
