The Dead Heart - Lyrics

We don't serve your country
Don't serve your king
Know your custom don't speak your tongue
White man came took everyone

We don't serve your country
Don't serve your king
White man listen to the songs we sing
White man came took everything

We carry in our hearts the true country
And that cannot be stolen
We follow in the steps of our ancestry
And that cannot be broken

We don't serve your country
Don't serve your king
Know your custom don't speak your tongue
White man came took everyone

One Country - Lyrics

Who'd like to change the world?
Who wants to shoot the curl?
Who wants to work for bread?
Who wants to get ahead?

Who hands out equal rights?
Who starts and ends that fight?
And not rant and rave
Or end up a slave

Who can make hard-won gains?
Fall, like the summer rain?
Every man must be
What his life can be
So don't, call, me
The tune I will walk away

Who wants to please everyone?
Who says it all can be done?
Still sit up on that fence
No one I've heard of yet

Don't call me baby
Don't talk in maybes
Don't talk like has-beens
Sing it like it should be

Who laughs at a nagging doubts?
Lying on a neon shroud, running around, yeah
You've gotta touch someone
Yeah, I wanna be.......
So don't, call, me
The tune, I will walk away
So don't, call, me
The tune, I will walk away
So don't, call, me
The tune, I will walk away
So don't, call, me
The tune, I will walk away

One country
One, country
One, country
One, country
One
Who wants to sit around? (country, one)
Turn it up, turn it down? (country,one)
Only a man can be (country one)
What his life can be!

(Country one) One vision
(Country one) One people
(Country one) One landmass
(Country one) Be our defences
(Country one) We have a lifeline

One ocean, one policy, see bad light
One passion, one movement, one instant, one difference
One life time and one understanding

(Country one) Yeahhhhhh, one country
(Country one) Yeahhhhhh, one country
(Country one) I..... tell you, it's one country
(Country one) Heyyyyyyyy (country one)

Yeah one, one, one (one country)
One, one, one, one country
One (country one)
One understanding

Transgression, redemption
One island blue, our place magic
One firmament, one element
One moment, one fusion
Is so on time

Truganini - Lyrics

There's a road train going nowhere
Roads are cut, lines are down
We'll be staying at the Roma bar
Till that monsoon passes on

The backbone of this country's broken
The land is cracked and the land is sore
Farmers are hanging on by their fingertips
We cursed and stumbled across that shore
What for?

I hear much support for the monarchy
I hear the Union Jack's to remain
I see Namatjira in custody
I see Truganini's in chains

And the world won't stand still

Blue collar work it don't get you nowhere
You just go round and round in debt
Somebody's got you on that treadmill, mate
And I hope you're not beaten yet

I hear much support for the monarchy
I hear the Union Jack's to remain
I see Namatjira in custody
I see Truganini's in chains

I hear much support for the monarchy
I see the Union Jack in flames, let it burn
I see Namatjira with dignity
I see Truganini's in chains

And the world won't stand still
And the world won't stand still
Chains...
And the world won't stand still
And the world won't stand still

In The Valley - Lyrics

My grandfather went down with the Montevideo
The rising sun sent him floating to his rest
And his wife fled south to Sydney seeking out safe harbour
A North Shore matron she became with some paying guests

My father went down with the curse of big cities
Traffic tolls and deadlines took him to his peace
Now Bob Dyer glued us to our seats
And lawns were always Victa neat
Whilst Menzies fawned at royal fleet do you remember?
I'm sure you remember

In the valley I walk, I took some comfort there
In the valley I walk, cold comfort I can hear you talk
In the valley I walk, who will take me there?

When my mother went down it was a stiff arm from Hades
Life surprises and tears you like the southerly
She always welcomed the spring always welcomed the stranger
I don't see too many around like this
Oh no, not many like this

In the valley I walk - who will take me there
In the valley I walk - cold comfort I can hear you talk
In the valley I walk - I took some comfort there
In the valley I walk - oh rough justice I hear you talk
In the valley I walk - I meet my watershed
To meet my watershed
I meet my watershed
To meet my watershed

I hope virtue brings it's own reward
And I hope the pen is mightier than any sword
I hope the kids will take it slow
I hope my country claims it's own

In the valley I walk - I cried yes I cried I was down then I crawled
Mercy's arms all around me when I was down there
In the valley I walk - do you read me they can hear me in the valley

Dreamworld - Lyrics

The Breakfast Creek Hotel is up for sale
The last square mile of terra firma gavelled in the mail
So farewell to the Norfolk Island pines
No amount of make believe can help this heart of mine

End - your dreamworld is just about to end
Fall - your dreamworld is just about to fall
Your dreamworld will fall

So shut that buckle and turn that key again
Take me to a place they say the dreaming never ends
Open wide drive that mystery road
Walk through Eden's garden and then wander as you go

End - your dreamworld is just about to end
Fall - your dreamworld is just about to fall
Your dreamworld will fall

Sign says honeymoon to rent
Cloudland into dreamland turns
The sun comes up and we all learn
Those wheels must turn
