'Blood on my Boots'

(back to music page)

Blood on my boots is a direct 'dig' at the whaling policies of Japan, Iceland, Norway and compliant Russia. Buying votes from poorer nations, a blatant disrespect of Australian arctic sovereign waters and going against the grain of world popular opinion should be attracting a  much firmer political stand that is currently present.

Please let me add that I have taken a 'padded down' passive approach in my description, as the internet operates in the public domain, privately I use MUCH stronger language!

Hello again, we have a bit of a treat on the way, Boris Branwhite and Tony Fields from  www.whalecall.org/, have put together a video it's here (click), it's a short pre-production version but a big download 9.5 meg. This footage is quite graphic so if you are not prepared for it do not watch it, any kids please ask your parents.!!  Boris and Tony have selected the song 'Blood on my Boots' to use as a backing track and we are very happy to support them in their endeavours to raise awareness.

Blood on my Boots:

As the pendulum swings, takes me down an ocean track I have never been
I got blood on my boots --------convicted of an addiction to move
I know you hear me, hear me when I call, Billy Greene’s come screaming, sat nav brings em’ all
My little piece of ocean green, break my territory waters------, I got no way to fight this war 
Chorus1:
    And now I take it easy    and now I take it slow and easy
Verse2:
-----Blood on my boots ----------a victim of a system abused
Awe inspired majesty people pay money to be right by my side
Hey! it’s all in the name of science, Norway, Iceland, Japanese blubber meat pies
Chorus2:
And so you are a friend of mine, you stand around and watch me die
Verse3:
-----Blood on my boots ----------a victim of a system abused
Hm       Umfh,        Hm        Umfh       Hm     Umfh,        Hm         Umfh  
Play the roles of protocol, let the money flow, when it’s comes to vote we tend to hedge our bets
Whale commission of 46, expectations lifted        what do you think               comes next
Chorus3:
A thousand plus a year go down, still my friend you standing around.
Verse4:
-----Blood on my boots ----------a victim of a system abused
No suggestion of aggression, bide my time and sympathize, I retain the right of reply.
See it in the distance; harpoon minke blue balaenoptera is about to----     roll-over and die
Chorus3:
Outro:
I got blood on my boots ----------a victim of a system abused   X5
I got blood on my boots!!!!!!!
