Beatles' ode to John Howard

This is kicking a man when he's down, but the iPod popped this up to me last night, and I thought how appropriate it is to the election outcome:

I'm looking through you

Where did you go

I thought I knew you

What did I know

You don't look different

But you have changed

I'm looking through you

You're not the same

Your lips are moving

I cannot hear

You voice is soothing

But the words aren't clear

You don't sound different

I've learned the game

I'm looking through you

You're not the same

Why, tell me why

Did you not treat me right

Love has a nasty habit

Of disappearing overnight

You're thinking of me

The same old way

You were above me

But not today

The only difference

Is you're down there

I'm looking though you

And you're nowhere

Why, tell me why

Did you not treat me right

Love has a nasty habit

Of disappearing overnight

I'm looking through you

Where did you go

I thought I knew you

What did I know

You don't look different

But you have changed

I'm looking through you

You're not the same

Yeah, Oh, baby you've changed

Aah, I'm looking through you

Yeah, I'm looking through you

You've changed, you've changed

You've changed, you've changed

That election should have been Howard's to lose. a decade and a half of steady economic growth but all I ever heard about was John Howard's chain of dubious stupidities. I know more about Aussie politics than I do about Vermont politics, but probably only because my governor blunders less.

Damn you John Wilkins. That song is now stuck in my head. Damn you!
