lyrics

Yeah that’s me back in ‘45
Too young to vote, but old enough to die
They gave me a slouch hat and a ‘303
The good old AIF had a place for me

Tarakan

They told God above and every rank below
We’re gonna rid this land of Tokyo Rose
Every cap and gun, down to the man
On every precious inch of Tarakan

Tarakan

Well the motors ran and the sea did swell
And the Church of Man did ring it bell
Like a sacrament of blood and sand
Forced through the teeth of Tarakan

Tarakan

Olive drab and jungle green
A cordite fuming khaki dream
And my brothers here, part of the plan
Lying face down on Tarakan

Tarakan

All you Kings and Queens if you’re keeping score
Yeah we rid this land of the Emperor
Every cap and gun, down to the man
A little blood for oil on Tarakan

Tarakan

The Wedded Bliss is a labour of love for Randall Blair, Matt Nightingale and Lachlan Coventry.

They are a band that that will have you tapping your toes, singing along to their catchy country swing tunes.
