|
Play the halls, |
|
See the stalls tonight. |
|
Open roads the like, |
|
Across the dateline change will never strike. |
|
Australia lies ahead |
|
Australia, we head for the mainland, |
|
Clutching our gifts from the East. |
|
Only to find out. |
|
Planes and the highways. |
|
Strain the paths and the by-ways. |
|
Remain, still it's leading me, |
|
Closer to you. |
|
Australia, we're leaving you behind. |
|
Australia, we're taking the easy way out, |
|
From now on. |
|
"Come to Australia" can't |
|
get away from ya still |
|
"Come to Australia we'll take good care of ya'" |
|
Australia you save your |
|
face while fashions slip, |
|
Australia you're balanced between |
|
The powers' tightening grip. |
|
I've been to Australia it's |
|
a long way for ya still |
|
"Go via Australia they'll take care of ya'" |
