I was on my hands and knees

Begging, please dont do me this way

but the Punter said maybe I should

blow his horn as the band played

Waltzing Matilda

So I blew and blew till my lips

were raw and bloodyand the Punter said

maybe I should blow somemore

when I caught my second breath as

the band played Jerusalem

the second time around

and I felt like a percussion drum

as the Punter beat down on my

hanging head and all he would say was

you are not blowing any more

and then I was slipping away

fading away as the band played

The Last Waltz for Me
