Errol Lyrics

Artist: Australian Crawl

CONVICT STATE
IT JUST WON'T RATE
HE WANT TO GET HIGHER
APPLE ISLE, THE INBRED SMILE
HE'S GONNA GET BY'A
HIS MOTHER'S HAND
HE COULD NOT STAND
HE LEFT FOR THE ISLANDS
TO FISH AND HUNT
TO TAKE A PUNT
THE NEW GUINEA HIGHLANDS
CHORUS
OH ERROL - I WOULD GIVE
EVERYTHING, JUST TO BE LIKE HIM

HE HAD TO GO
THE SIROCCO
HE'S SAILIN' THE HIGH SEAS
HOLLYWOOD, CAPTAIN BLOOD
HE'S BILLING THE NAZI'S
TOOK A REBEL STAND
WITH THE CONTRABAND
COAST OF MEXICO
HE WANT TO POUNCE
LIKE AN ANIMAL
TO GIRLS HE JUST CAN'T SAY NO
CHORUS
HE HAD THEM ALL
SCREAMIN' FOR MORE
HE PLAY THE WILD SCENE
AH SCANDALISE, NO COMPRISE
HE'S DOWN ON HIS KNEES
SWASHBUCKING
HE WAS THE KING
THE TOAST OF TINSEL TOWN
THEY BUILD HIM UP
THEY TOOK IT ALL
AND THEY JUST CUT HIM DOWN
CHORUS

I'm only 17 I wasent even alive when it came out...but I absolutely love it....the catchiest song and film clip ever made...

This is by far the greatest Crawl song ever written. However the clip which is awesome always makes me so sad because Guy McDonough is so young, sweet talented and funny in it and only three years after singing this song he died.

This is an awesome song , the Crawl rock, but is this a tribute to errol flynn, or taking the piss outta him?

Kyle,
The Crawl loved Flynn. It is a tribute.
They also named one of their albums Sirocco after his yacht (as mentioned in the song).

Flynn was a one of a kind and I love the fact that they wrote a song for him. Thank you

My Romanian / Greek neighbor, six feet three, was named Errol by the old aussie bloke next door to his house. Errol makes us all swoon, and I wear a moustache just like his, sort of, - - , god I love this country

Professor Flynn , (Errol's father) said to the press upon his son's death, " Errol lived his life like most men would if they only had the courage" !
...and yes..."I would give anything, just to be like him"!

BEST CRAWL SONG EVER! And after 20yrs (at least) of loving it I finally know that it was He's Billing The Nazis - what does that mean? Also his dad the eminent professor killed a shit load of Tassie Tigers and was one of the main contributors to these fantastic animals' demise!

I love Australian Crawl!
That is all :)

when they talk about him billing the nazis. he was actually a nazi spy

by Rowan on 2/10/2011 3:34am
That's bullshit about him being a spy.

Errol is a very treasured name within my heart, i lost my pop to cancer and this song heals the heart and bring back great memories. i thank australian crawl for that.

I was eight when this song came out and I always heard it as "Oh, Werewolf". Great track.

The Sirocco was actually my Uncle's boat in PNG. My Uncle and Errol were mates.
