Attn. folkies; here's a rich new seam of music to mine:

Stumbled upon Wil Thomas yesterday, an Australian singer songwriter. How come we haven't heard more of him? His songs are lovely. Here's one about the Lawley river:

"....and old man Crocodile swims through my stories; he knows the river like he knows my fears." Love that line. Listen also to The Mercenary's Tale and The Priceless Point.

(Note the single L in Wil if you are searching for his music.)

I woke up in the morning in the black of my mind
Was cooking on a lady that I never did find
My body was a door by which she left last night
And oh, Billy; what, you gonna go now?

Well the moon did cometh and the cane did roar
I felt it in my body in the cracked old floor
There was a time I wondered if there'd ever be more
And oh, Billy; what, you gonna go now?

And at the day's end, you'll be
Just sippin' from the devil's hands for free
But your god is an ocean below

You'll be takin' it easy, takin' it slow
I'm going down the mountain where the river did flow
I'm gonna kill a man 'cause he stole my boat
Takin' it easy, takin' it slow

The rust did crumble
And the wind did blow
But the rain never came
It was a dry man's throat
I wander to the gully
To the back of my home
And oh, Billy; what, you gonna go now?

I say, hey, man, did you ever see the snow?
I never seen nothing that'll move so slow
There's a little red spider on the old window
And oh, Billy; what, you gonna go now?

And at the day's end, you'll be
Sippin' on the devil's hands for free
But your god is an ocean below
You'll be takin' it easy, takin' it slow

Takin' it slow...

Well that's my lunch break sorted then. Too gloomy and damp out for a walk down to the canal anyway.
