The Week That Was – in 7 songs
Music to kick off the weekend, inspired by some of the big events in news and politics, and reflect on the week that was.
Just Go Away – Blondie
Don’t go away mad
Just go away (go away)
Go away and stay away
– Deborah Harry
Tony Abbott no longer inspires fear, instead he is mocked and
ridiculed. His reign is over, and it is time for him to just go away.

Loser – Beck
I’m a loser
– Beck, Carl Stephenson
A song I would like to think runs through Tony Abbott’s head every
night as he tries to go sleep, and I hope his failure haunts him for the
rest of his days.

Yellow Submarine – The Beatles
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
– Lennon–McCartney
Another Tony Abbott broken promise, that the submarines would be built in Australia.

Tumbling Dice – The Rolling Stones
You got to roll me and call me the tumblin’ (dice),
Roll me and call me the tumblin’ (Got to roll me.) dice.
Got to roll me. Got to roll me.
– Jagger/Richards
Sleep with one eye open, Tony Abbott, there will be a spill soon, you
will be rolled, and it will straight to the backbenches for you.

So, you’ve been laid off baby, from the factory,
you’re car’s been repossessed by the finance company

high was in 2002, when Tony Abbott was the Minister for Employment in
the Howard Government. Life may be tough now, there will be a sweeter
tomorrow.
