Editors Note: The record in the background is John Williamson – The Smell of Gum Leaves that features the track The Trees Have Now Gone
More importantly for this editor that album has John Williamson doing a cover of Mike Rudd's "I'll be gone" which is iconic in the history of Australian rock having been a major hit for Spectrum.
VIDEO: I'll be gone - Spectrum. Spectrum also performed under the alter ego, Indelible Murtceps (Specrum spelt backwards) After Spectrum and Indelible Murtceps disbanded, Putt and Rudd formed Ariel. Ariel had a mate of mine in it Tim Gaze − guitar, lead and backing vocals (Tim was ex-Kahvas Jute and Tamam Shud) This is Tim in 2017 doing a Morning of The Earth from the original soundtrack to the 1971 movie.
Back to John Williamson: What am I gonna do? What about the future? Gotta draw the line without delay Why shouldn't I get emotional? The bush is sacred Ancient life will fade away Over the hill I go Killing another mountain Gotta fill the quota Can't go slow Huge machinery Wiping out the scenery One big swipe like a shearers blow
Rip rip wood chip Turn it into paper Throw it in the bin No news today Nightmare dreaming Can't you hear the screaming Chainsaw I saw more decay
Remember the axeman knew their timber Cared about the way they brought it down Crosscut black but tallowood and cedar Build another bungalow pioneer town I am the bush and I am koala We as one go hand in hand I am the bush like Banjo and Henry Its in my blood gonna make a stand
Rip rip wood chip
Turn it into paper
Throw it in the bin
Don't understand
Nightmare dreaming
Can't you hear the screaming
Stirs my blood gonna make a stand
