sumthink OLD SCHOOL [The Book of Lyrics] by Senator Papahatziharalambrous

127 Black Pages with White Text, and 23 Original Images - Including the Art Covers for every song.

Dedicated to Australia, the greatest country on earth.

To the battlers, the dreamers, the knockabouts and the legends of this sunburnt land – past, present, and the ones still coming up the hard way. To every suburb that’s copped a hiding but never backed down, every footy club that’s more family than team, every mate who’s had your back when the chips were down. To the greatest country on earth and her people – the ones who fix what’s broken, forgive what’s bent, and never toss out what took years to build. This one’s for you, fair dinkum.

Lest we forget the old school ways that still run through our veins.

In a world quick to chuck out the old for shiny new crap, Senator Papahatziharalambrous serves up "sumthink Old School" – 20 tracks of pure Aussie soul wrapped in pop, rap, and rock grit. This ain't just an album; it's a bloody preservation project.

Lyrics that honour the battler, the mate, the scar-tissue wisdom of our suburbs and footy tribes. From Pentridge's hard lessons to Franga's pine-tree degrees, from Richmond Rebels to the Sons of the West – every bar screams: we've got culture, we've got heritage, and we’ve got tradition. And it's worth fixing, not binning.

The book lays it all bare: full lyrics, raw stories, images that hit like a tackle. Dedication to the greatest country on earth and her people – past and present. If you're tired of the plastic, the fake, the throwaway – this is your reminder. People ain't rubbish. Everyone's worth the ache.

Our story doesn't begin or end here.

Cheers,

Senator Papahatziharalambrous
