Quirk of Nature



I have a tendency to re-write the lyrics of popular songs....

The following was written when Campbell Newman stepped down as Lord Mayor of Brisbane City Council.


[to the tune of "Freak" by SilverChair]

No more Campbell
Captain Quirk’s got City Hall
Sitting in a star ship
In the middle of a tunnel

Yeah, I'm a Quirk of nature
Yeah, I'm a Quirk

If only I could be cool as Can-Do
Cool as Can-Do

Can-Do you are soul
I'm a Quirk, I'm a Quirk
Can-Do you are soul
I'm a Quirk, I'm a Quirk

The same but different
Without a different outcome
I cut parks & libraries
To get a tunnel done.

Yeah, I'm a Quirk of nature
Yeah, I'm a Quirk

I don't really choose
How to be like a Can-Do

Standing against Ray Smith
Only Brisbane can lose.

If only I could be cool as Can-Do
Cool as Can-Do
Cool as Can-Do

Cool as Can-Do

Can-Do you are soul
I'm a Quirk, I'm a Quirk
Can-Do you are soul
I'm a Quirk, I'm a Quirk (x2)
