  1. Old Red Eyes Is Back

    unreferenced date December 2011 Old Red Eyes Is Back is a song written by Paul Heaton and Dave Rotheray and performed by The Beautiful South . The song was originally released on the album 0898. It features as the opening track and was the first single released from the album in February 1992. The single reached a peak of No. 22 in the UK and became the band s 5th UK Top 40 Single. Lead Vocals are provided by Paul Heaton with Briana Corrigan s vocals featuring occasionally in the background. Heaton s lyrics deal with a man named Old Red , clearly a man suffering with alcoholism , as Heaton has at several times in his life. The verses detail Old Red s drinking habits and how it is affecting his health He pours another drink and listens to his body thaw before the final verse announces Old Red he died... The chorus reminisces about the things he has sacrificed for his drink ...all the things I could have done instead The subject matter is a common theme throughout the Beautiful South s material, but Old Red Eyes Is Back is arguably the most graphic account of the perils of alcholism amongst their song catalogue. The music video is fittingly set in a pub and features two Paul Heatons. One, a sober looking man who sings the lyrics telling the story of Old Red . The other, who sings the chorus, is presumably meant to be Old Red , with messy long hair and his face looking rough from heavy drinking.

    Nofootnotes date February 2008 The sandstone universities are an informally defined group comprising Australia s oldest higher education tertiary education institutions. Most were founded in the colonial era, the exceptions being the University of Queensland 1909 and The University of Western Australia 1911 . All the universities in the group have buildings constructed primarily of sandstone . Membership of the group is based on age some universities, such as the private Bond University , have sandstone buildings but are not considered sandstone universities. The label sandstone university is not completely synonymous with membership of the Group of Eight Australian universities Group of Eight , which includes the Australian National University , Monash University and the University of New South Wales , but not the University of Tasmania . Nevertheless, the connotations prestige, a focus on research, and curricula that have a strong emphasis on theory rather than practice are much the same for the two groups.
