The cruel 2008 winter finally ended; followed by the hottest summer in Victorian history. |
I'm sitting in Melbourne dreaming of a white Christmas Something which in Australia we've never known, Just as winter devoured spring, it now devours summer And in December we've almost come to expect snow. It's a cruel, cruel winter this year, 2008 Starting June 1st it hasn't ended by December, It's a winter set to kill all the people living rough And which even those indoors will e'er remember. It's a cruel and vicious winter that we've had this year And by December 9, we're still having hail and rain, There'll be no prawns on the barbie this Christmas As we're starting to think we won't see summer again. It's a cruel, cruel winter that goes on forever As it's starting to seem we'll never see the summer sun, Just as spring was swallowed up by winter this year Will there ever be a time when summer has begun? Or will the cruel, cruel winter of 2008 Continue right through until June of 2009? Will the rain, the hail, the sleet, and storms ever stop? Will we ever again hear the weather girl say, "Fine"?
