Down Under
Journey through the Land Down Under: A Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
Travelling in a fried out combie
Travelling in a worn-out van
On a hippie trail head full of zombies
On a journey influenced by hippie culture and encountering strange people
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
Encountering a mysterious woman who made the speaker uneasy
She took me in, and gave me breakfast
The woman provided hospitality by taking the speaker in and offering breakfast
And she said
Transition to the woman's words
"Do you come from a land down under
Asking if the speaker is from Australia, describing the country's characteristics
Where women glow and men plunder?
Portraying women as radiant and men as adventurous or plundering
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
Highlighting the sound of thunder, possibly a warning
You better run, you better take cover"
Advising to run and take cover, implying a threat or danger
Buying bread from a man named Brussels
Buying bread from a person named Brussels (a city), describing his physical attributes
He was six-foot-four and full of muscles
Emphasizing the man's large stature and strength
I said, "Do you speak of my language"?
Inquiring if the man speaks the speaker's language
Hе just smiled
The man responds with a smile
And gave me a Vеgemite sandwich and he said
The man gives the speaker a Vegemite sandwich
I come from the land down under
Reiterating that the speaker comes from Australia, describing its features
Where rivers flow and men chunder
Describing rivers and men vomiting (chunder)
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
Repeating the sound of thunder, possibly emphasizing a warning
You better run, you better take cover
Reiterating the advice to run and take cover
Yeah can't you hear, can't you
Repeating the question about hearing thunder
Hear the thunder? Oh, oh
Emphasizing the sound of thunder
You better run, you better take cover
Reiterating the advice to run and take cover
