4 After ominous synth chords and a chanting crowd, the Goffin/King hit It Might As Well Rain Until September plays over the head credits, sung by cast member Cassandra Delaney - the ominous sound of a plane overhead runs over the tail credits, along with various crowd chants - Give Peace A Chance, Stand up for your rights, We Shall Overcome, but the song returns just before the end when it's defiantly sung by Delaney and Saskia Post in the Martin Place subway. The lyrics for the head credits performance vary a little from the usually published form: What did (shall) I write? What can I say? How can I tell you how much I miss you? The weather here has been as nice as it can be Although it doesn't really matter much to me For all the fun I'll have while you're so far away It might as well rain until September

5 I don't need sunny skies for thing I like to do 'Cause I stay home the whole day long and think of you As far as I'm concerned each day's a rainy day So it might as well rain until September My friends look forward to their picnics on the beach Yes everybody loves the summertime All that (But) you know darling while your arms are out of reach The summer isn't any friend of mine It doesn't matter whether skies are grey or blue It's raining in my heart, ('cause) I can't be with you I'm only living for the day you're home to stay So it might as well rain until September September, September Oh, it might as well rain until September... Not long afterwards, a short way into the drama, Midnight Oil, with lead singer Peter Garrett, do a live performance of their song Short Memory: Conquistador of Mexico The Zulu and the Navaho The Belgians in the Congo Plantation in Virginia The Raj in British India The deadline in South Africa The story of El Salvador The silence of Hiroshima Destruction of Cambodia, must have a shoooort memory, must have shoooort memory The sight of hotels by the Nile The designated Hilton style

6 With running water specially bought A smallish man Afghanistan A watch dog in a nervous land They're only there to lend a hand The friendly five a dusty smile Wake up in a sweat at dead of night And in the tents new rifles, hey, short memory, must have a shoooort memory, must have a shoooort memory Yes, short memory, must have a shoort memory (The band repeats the chorus and invites the audience into a short singalong)
