The quall

G / Em / C / D

VERSE

Australian logging was out of control

And the forests were taking the toll

He climbed right up to the highest tree

And said "you take it down then you're taking down me"

He travelled all across the land

Took the fight into his own hands

He formed a powerful green faction

And waged a war of direct action

CHORUS

You are, like a lone range liberator

You are, like something from a science movie

You are, a soul inspired crusader

You are, a nature-saving raider

VERSE

But winning battles wasn't winning the war

And nobody was there keeping the score

He saw that if he was going to get them to stop

He had to take his fight to the very top

He studied law and learnt how the lawyers talk

Teamed up with a logger to sue the state

To make them see that they weren't above the law

And won his case in the supreme court

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

MIDDLE (quiet)

Em

It didn't run in the media at all

G

Nobody's heard of the mighty Quall

Em

He went away quietly to live in the woods

D

And he's still in there using his powers for good

CHORUS OUTRO (quiet)

You are x4

Save the developers

VERSE

E

Some men look out on a beautiful bay

A                                       E

And see the money that could be made

E

With a breakwall and a jetty

A                                      E

The economy could be saved

BRIDGE

A                                                 E

They're not driven by hunger or greed

A                                                 E

Just trying to fill some unnamed need

A

They are foolish men, rushing through their lives

CHORUS

E

Save the developers

A

Save them from themselves

E

Save the developers

B                                      E

They know not what they do

VERSE

Some men look out on a pristine lake

And see the airport that could be there

If they fill it in they could fly them in

And a monument would be their's

BRIDGE

They live with a fear of their death

They want to feel that something's left

A legacy to live on when they've gone

CHORUS

VERSE

Some men look over a forest

And divide it up in their mind

With a deal for that land and that timber

It is peace that they would find

BRIDGE

Because they're hunting for their hit

And that contract is their fix

They are deluded men, living for themselves

CHORUS

MIDDLE

A

Every management course

B

Should have a module on Zen

A

With power comes responsibility

B

Don't give it to restless men

OUTRO

E                           A

Save the developers, save them, save them x4

B                                    E                            

They know not what they do

Save the developers

East Timor song

VERSE
In the heart of East Leste there is a family testy who argue and then repent
To improve their relations and clear complications they all need an instrument
The father Chase needs to get on the bass and guide them along with a groove
If his wife Evette could play the trumpet she could blow away her frustrations
And if their manic son Morgan was made to play the organ it would improve his concentration

BRIDGE
When everyone can finally play
That will be a beautiful day

CHORUS
When every hand holds an instrument
And every mouth sings a song
Then every heart will be filled with music
And the world will get along

VERSE
The boss at work's an energetic jerk he needs to work out his issues with a drum
If the rest of the suits would all pull out flutes they could make every meeting fun
The supervisor Lynn should learn the mandolin it would improve her training sessions
And if her assistant Lola taught herself the viola they could bond over chord progressions

BRIDGE + CHORUS

VERSE
If the barmaid Jean got a tambourine she could keep all the punters in order
And if troublesome Joan saved up a trombone she could solve her personality disorder
For uncle Hugh a kazoo would do he could use the exercise
Their cousin Joyce has a magnificent voice and she could win the family a prize

BRIDGE + CHORUS
