about

The 2014 escape of two animal extras from a film shoot in Sydney Park leads to Inner Western drama.

lyrics

There was movement
at the firestation
for the word had got around
that with regret the buffalo had escaped

When the buffalo come
come down into King Street
when the Newtown folk
and the buffalo meet

It's a sign, a taste
of things to come
as we spin into
our plunging sun

Well we come down south
for some movie work
thougt we'd break on through
have a look around
at the tatoooed girls
catch some urban sounds

Then the sirens call
and the choppers whirl
(get my agent on the phone
this isn't in the contract)

There are no paddy fields
in Camperdown
nothing much for a buffalo to do
and that King Street strip
It's a consumer zoo

When we get back north
got some tales to tell
how a film star's world
is a buffalo's hell
