Boom Crash Opera.. Dancing In The Storm
written by Peter Farnan and Richard Pleasance
from the album "These Here Are Crazy Times"
Lying in the dark I know you are awake,

I will not give in, I will not give in.

Pulling faces and admitting not a thing,

I will not give in, I will not give in.



Lightning flash and everything is sharp and clear,

I can see it all, I can see it all.

And as the thunder roars we're raising up a storm,

We can shout it down, we can shout it down.



Gone are the days of complacency,

Gone are the nights of indifference.


CHORUS:

Here we go, here we go for one more turn,

We can shake, we can shake the trees and earth,

We can spin, we can spin and not fall down,

Hold on tight, we can both become unwound,

You and I, going out and we're dancing in the storm.


Honestly, my foot is always in my mouth,
Still the words come out, the words come out.
Not the truth but I have nothing to confess,
Just a hint of doubt, just a hint of doubt.


Gone are the days of the sideway step,
Gone are the nights with no partner
REPEAT CHORUS

In the sto-o-o-orm, in the sto-o-o-orm

In the sto-o-o-orm, in the sto-o-o-orm

Gone are the days of complacency,

Gone are the nights with no partner
Gone is the way that we used to be,

Now the corner is turned, heaven knows we've learned

Why is Australia in the Eurovision song contest?

Yes, Australia is on the other side of the globe, but still many Australians have European ancestors. That is one of the reasons for the big interest in the Eurovision Song Contest.The Australian broadcaster SBS has been showing the ESC since 1983, even if for Australians, the contest begins early in the morning, and the show has got a big fan base Down Under.Since then, Australia has tried again and again to join the contest. During the 2013 contest, a funny and well-produced video by SBS was shown that celebrated Australia’s thirtieth anniversary at showing the ESC.In 2014 SBS sent a great interval act by Jessica Mauboy.Finally, in 2015, Australia had the right to send their own song to the contest. “Tonight Again” by Guy Sebastian was a big success and came in 5th place at the final. Ever since SBS has repeatedly received the right to send a song to the ESC, and each year the song ranked in the top 10 of the contest.So in the end everybody is happy: Australians, because they can finally participate, the EBU, because Australia - I guess - pays a lot of money to get the right to do this, and the Eurovision fans, because there are more good songs in the competition.You can find more information here on Wikipedia.
