Warner Corner – Theft

This week’s theme was ‘Theft’.

Kev Carmody is one of Australia’s great protest-song writers. This one, Thou Shalt Not Steal, takes the so-called moral lessons of the bible and throws them back in the face of the hypocrites.

We obviously need more protest and more protest-songs…

Warner Corner – Ruby

This week’s theme was ‘Ruby’.

In past segments, over the years, I’d already played Tom Waits’s ‘Ruby’s Arms’ and The Felice Bros’ ‘Ruby Mae’. I’d always been a fan of Melanie’s version of The Stones’ ‘Ruby Tuesday’ – so I thought we could give that a crack.

Luckily, Georgie Darvidis came in and saved the day.

Warner Corner – Pictures

The theme today was ‘Pictures’.

I played one of my own songs a few weeks back so, this Sunday, I thought I might roll the dice again.

A stripped-back Warner Corner band played a version of ‘A Likeness’ – the leading track from my first solo album, ‘A Likeness of You’.

The lyrics refer to the objects secreted away in someone’s bag – hopefully the simple list tells some sort of story…

Thanks to Nath, Ed and Thatch

Warner Corner – Said

The theme today was ‘Said, Say, Saying’.

I realised I’d written one of these myself many years ago – in the late 80s, early 90s – one of my first songs for The Warner Brothers.

Very chuffed at RRR this day that Dave Evans had learned the Marcel Borrack arrangement from my Night Parrots album.

Thanks Dave! And thanks to my webmaster Thatch for the brilliant EQ.
