I Still Call Australia Home

I Still Call Australia Home

This is the red light syndrome. I play this piece at the end of every performance but today it was rubbish. Spent ALL day on it and finally gave up. The pictures tell the story.



I’ve been to cities that never close down,
From New York to Rio and old London town,
But no matter how far or how wide I roam,
I still call Australia home.

I’m always traveling, I love being free
And so I keep leaving the sun and the sea
But my heart lies waiting over the foam
I still call Australia home.

All the sons and daughters spinning around the world
Away from their family and friends
But as the world gets older and colder
It’s good to know where your journey ends.

But someday we’ll all be together once more
When all of the ships come back to the shore
I realize something I’ve always known
I still call Australia home.

Peter Allen

Hi there I have played from the age of 13 and all my music is played in a sort of dance tempo style. Have worked in nearly all the North East clubs over the years. That gave me a good grounding. Cheers.

This is one of the ads on my VHS tape. Love it. It does not play here. Sorry about that but you can see it on YT. Best viewed with Firefox and an AD blocker otherwise you have minutes of advertising all rubbish which means absolutely nothing.

Here is the real link

We can cheat a little though and show you something from the video above to click on to play the video.
Click the image below to play it. Click the back button (top left) to get back to this page after watching as this is not an 'embedded video'.

Or ...

We can find a version put up by somebody else who isn't bothered about you watching their videos on other websites.
Try this one. This is an 'embedded video'.
