The Legend Of Barry Kable
(Cochran/Crowe)

It was Barry's dad that committed the deed
That mapped out the life young Barry would lead
Eagle on his chest, he'd roar at the wilderness
'till the stars came out in his own head

Now he waits at the post office for delivery
then it's down to the Talbot, just in time for tea
At least at the hostel, they won't steal your steaks,
My name is Barry and I brought my own plate
Well he'd ride with me, spit on me,take me on in Crown street
He crossed that road like a river

Painter and Docker, piss-head and boxer
But a Rose of Australia was mad Barry
Dog in the moonlight, gentleman when he was right
He just dropped dead in the bottle shop of the Gaslight

Well he'd ride with me, spit on me,take me on in Crown street
He crossed that road like a river

I met Barry's boy driving him to McKinnon (which is a detox unit)
He confessed to me he'd been doin' it hard
That's the third generation
Looked just like his dad, only braver
Well I might have helped him if I could just give the drink away
Well he'd ride with me, spit on me,take me on in Crown street
He crossed that road like a river

This song is for Marcus McKenzie, Barry's boy, who died of an overdose. Linda Kable whose bravery breaks the cycle, the men and women of the streets of Sydney, somewhere in the narrative lies your own tale, and the work of Missionbeat.
