    This is the story of a greek migrant Elvis wannabe, who builds a replica of Gracelands in an Australian country town. A thumping drumbeat leads this indulgence into riff laden rock & roll.

    Story Behind the Song

    Lyrics
    a fatman read in the sunday paper
    of a tidy town where he felt that he should be
    where the fruit grew well in the southern sun
    so he made his way accross the ocean
    he arrived in the main drag late one night
    his eyes were wide at this wonderful sight
    festooned with fastfood to his delight
    and there stood graceland on his right
    he fell deep in love with this paradise on the goulburn
    where a rich old greek had built a home for a king
    and elvis had come to live

    and he drove on a sunday
    to charisma chapel
    he worked in the orchard
    picking pears and apples
    and nobody knew that he was the king

    singing christmas carols for the lions club
    when an old lady looked him straight in the eye
    she said i know you you're the one who sings
    you're liberace but where's your rings
    he cruised round the lake on a friday night
    with sauce on his chin from a higgins pie
    in a lilac cadillac, roof down
    in a shirt he wore in 1965
    went to the fruit salad city
    every two weeks to watch the cats play
    he did some work at the cannery
    canning crickets for spc
