about

Originally written in 1977 when Bob Short was in the band "Filth". Never recorded, that band still became rather infamous due to violence and destruction at gigs. This was that band's most infamous gift to the world - though this version is lyrically updated to more represent the present.

lyrics

DO THE HAROLD HOLT

Hey, It’s time to go down.
To the Beach where
The Prime Minister drowned

Let’s take a poli to the beach
Put concrete booties on his feet
It don’t matter if he can’t swim
You just push the fucker in

It’s time for our leaders to do the Harold Holt
A one way swim, it’s just the thing
I’d call it a result

Let’s have a session by the sea
Let them get down on there knees
This solves a problem what we’ve got
We’ll line them up and shoot the lot
