Australia

Just pick up an Austen novel
And you'll see what I mean
Everyone knows everybody
and they're all about twenty- Hey
Sure we have better medicine
and life expectancy
But they didnt know Australia
Or miss it like me. 
I don't know why you're there
I dont know why I'm here
I just know that australia
is across the world from me.
Sure all phtotographs must travel through
A darkroom and a film roll but
that art's a little different because
a piucture cannot see
And I know there wasn't facebook
in the nineteenth century
Which is why we have such prejudices in our society
And they learned to not miss people
cause of all their lost babies
So its nice I know Australia
And low child mortality
I don't know why you're there
I dont know why I'm here
I just know that australia
is across the world from me.

I'm not sure if its your birthday still
But it's the right day here for me
To sing a song about Australia
And what it means to me.
