Tojo never made it to Darwin

By The Hoodoo Gurus 1983, Single and included on their first album: Stone age Romeos

Written by David Faulkner making reference to the fact that during the second world war the Japanese never made it to Australia but did bomb Darwin.  However, Cyclone Tracy devastated the City during December of 1974.

Lyrics:

Tracy.Tracy was angry.
a bad mood.A bad mood.
I told her,"it`s an ill wind
Blows no good.Blows no good."

Then she told me:
"Tojo never made it
Tojo never made it to Darwin.
Tojo never made it
Tojo never made it to Drwin."

I said,"Traicy,won`t you listen - this is Christmas!
Don`t you go.Don`t you go."
She said,"David,believe me,I wouldn`t miss this for the world
I`ve got to blow.I`ve got to blow."

She said again:
"Tojo never made it
Tojo never made it to Darwin
Tojo never made it
Tojo never made it to Darwin."

Now she`s gone,gone,gone
Just like the wind.
I just sigh,I just sigh,
But I`m dreaming that I`m gleaming
In her eye,in her eye.

But I`ll always hear:
"Tojo never made it
Tojo never made it to Darwin
Tojo never made it
Tojo never made it to Darwin."

That year,Santa never came.
