Farewell to Swinburne
Everyone keeps asking me, 'What are you going to do? How are you going to earn yourself a decent screw?' And I have to say, ‘I don't know yet But given the form, it's an odds-on bet That it's got to be better than getting wet On my daily trudge to Swinburne’ Oh, life was never meant for us To sit around, and mope, and be unhappy It's time for me to pull the pin On my secure, but so restrictive nappy To pack my bags, and say, 'So long!' Not worry if I'm right or wrong And hum the tune of the siren's song I know some words, but there's many more to learn And if they ask you why, you can tell them that I told you That I'm tired of cutting LANSA code I have no need to bear that kind of load I'm heading out to seek another road For a wise man said, ‘When the railroad comes It's time to ditch your horse and catch the train Not only is it warmer But you'll find that there's a lot less buttock pain So hitch your soul to your guiding star And head out Where The Wild Things Are In a lifetime you can travel far If you never have your ticket stamped Return' So Glory Hallelujah! I'm saying farewell to the Kind of life that security, and safety, recommend As I travel on life's highway Down the tracks, and lanes, and byways I hope some days I'll meet you coming round the bend For life is so much sweeter for the time we spend with friends And the need to share our stories, is one that never ends
