Pardon my stuck-in-hick-Maine ignorance, but WHAT is the groovy big white building that looks like puffy sails that you close in on in the cllip? We've seen it, we know it's in Sydney, but we have no idea what it is other than a movie prop for "Finding Nemo".
Groovy:Don't be ashamed Groovy, you're more knowledgeable than you think. The building is the Sydney Opera House, and through Government interference, borne of nervousness, it was never built to the magnificence that the Architect had envisaged it to be. However it is indeed modelled on the sails of the sailing ships that ply the waters of the harbour.
I cant help about the shape I'm in.
I cant sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin.
But don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to.
Now, when I talked to God I knew he'd understand.
He said, stick by me and I'll be your guiding hand.
But don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to.
Oh well.
