Lyrics for Great Southern Land by Icehouse:
| | | Artist: | Icehouse |
| | Album: | Primitive Man | | Track: | Great Southern Land | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 280 | | | | Lyrics: | Standing at the limit of an endless ocean
stranded like a runaway, lost at sea
city on a
rainy day down in the harbour
watching as the grey clouds shadow the bay
looking
everywhere 'cause I had to find you
this is not the way that i remember it here
anyone
will tell you its a prisoner island
hidden in the summer for a million years
Great
Southern Land, burned you black
so you look into the land and it will tell you a
story
story 'bout a journey ended long ago
if you listen to the motion of the wind in the
mountains
maybe you can hear them talking like I do
". . they're gonna betray, they're
gonna forget you
are you gonna let them take you over this way . ."
Great Southern
Land, Great Southern Land
you walk alone like a primitive man
and they make it work with
sticks and bones
see their hungry eyes, its a hungry home
I hear the sound of the
stranger's voices
I see their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes
Great Southern Land, Great
Southern Land
they burned you black, black against the ground
Great Southern Land,
in the sleeping sun
you walk alone with the ghost of time
they burned you black, black
against the ground
and they make it work with rocks and sand
I hear the sound of the
stanger's voices
I see their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes
Great Southern Land, Great
Southern Land
you walk alone, like a primitive man
you walk alone with the ghost of
time
and they burned you black
yeah, they burned you black
