Song Information:
David Hicks, an Australian citizen, has spent four and a half years in Guantanamo Bay awaiting trial. This song is a reflection on what hes doing there, how he might feel and what his chances of coming home might be all with a generous dose of Australian humour.
Dion Young (Cydniko) kindly agreed to do a percussion track on this for me Im hoping hell be back before this finishes its rating period. Im on guitars, bass, keyboards (my first keyboard solo), drums, congas and vocals. Thanks to Mike Watkins and Bryan Anderson for comment and guidance.
Play it loud!
Song Lyrics:
Guantanamo Vacation
2006 Neil Porter
You were looking for excitement
Didnt know what you would find
You made a big mistake I think
Im sure its crossed your mind
You were just another stupid kid
With nothing much to do
With no idea of consequence
Now things look bad for you
Guantanamo vacation
Seems like years youve been away
Alone in isolation
On a different kind of Cuban holiday
I wonder what youll do today
Just sitting in your room
Just think of home and what went wrong
Dont know youll see it soon
There are places you would rather be
Its been ages since you smiled
An unlawful combatant
You were jailed without a trial
Guantanamo vacation
Seems like years youve been away
Alone in isolation
On a different kind of Cuban holiday
No Convention of Geneva
Howards left you high and dry
A national disgrace I fear
He didnt even try
I dont know if youre a good-guy
I dont want to be your friend
But the way that youve been left out there
Whens all this going to end?
Guantanamo vacation
Seems like years youve been away
Alone in isolation
On a different kind of Cuban holiday
You were looking for excitement
Didnt know what you would find
You made a big mistake I think
Im sure its crossed your mind
You were just another stupid kid
With nothing much to do
With no idea of consequence
Now things look bad for you
Guantanamo vacation
Seems like years youve been away
Alone in isolation
On a different kind of Cuban holiday
Its a nice place to visit
But I wouldnt want to die here!
