Sometimes I feel I've been here forever
Sometime ago
Sometimes we sense the doubt together
Sometimes alone
I'm tired but we won't sleep at all
even though the air is calm
Something here and something warm
something cuts the scars inside tonight
Sons of pioneers are hungry men
Every voice I hear sounds so familiar
Every song I know
Still there's been no change in the weather
But sometime we'll have to go
I'm tired but we won't sleep at all
even though the air is calm
Something here and something warm
something cuts the scars inside tonight
Sons of pioneers are hungry men
Now there's a girl about town I'd like to know
I'd like to slip away with you
And if you said you love me how could I mind?
Is there another side to everything you do?
Take in the country air
You'll never win
Gentlemen take polaroids
they fall in love they fall in love
Gentlemen take polaroids
they fall in love they fall in love
Breathe life into me
Spin me round
And I'll just sit and wonder why
Just a foreign town with a foreign mind
Why is everything so cut and dried?
The taste of country air you'll never know
Gentlemen take polaroids
they fall in love they fall in love
Gentlemen take polaroids
they fall in love they fall in love
Take in the country, ah you'll never win
Gentlemen take polaroids
they fall in love they fall in love
Gentlemen take polaroids
they fall in love they fall in love
Tell me when the work is done
Tell me when the day is through
And I'll drive safely inside my car
Taking islands in Africa
Shout if someone gets too near
I'll know just what I ought to do
I'll arrive safely in my car
Taking islands in Africa
Now you're feet are back on the ground again
She'll say the weather's dim but relax my love
Relax and swing
Things you say are not too clear
I'm someone you'll neither know again
But I sit here and watch from afar
Taking islands in Africa
Whisper in the wind
We're pushing through these farming towns
We worked hard ploughing over ground
Red army calls you the call of the crowd
Red army needs you they call you now
Cantonese boy
bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
civilian soldier
Cantonese boy
bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
Red army calls you home
We're singing marching through the hills
We're changing the lives we've led for years
Red army calls you the call of the crowd
Red army needs you they call you now
Cantonese boy
bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
civilian soldier
Cantonese boy
bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
Red army calls you home
Red army calls you
Red army needs you
Gentlemen you heard us call
raised your glass and called for more
Only young men broke the wall
I'm walking young and strong
But just a little too thin
I may be happy but I haven't clue to this life in my mind
Stay with me
We could learn to fight
like every good boy should
Cling to me
We are blacked out in visions of China
Tonight
I'm building heroes again
I never thought of before
I remember the fashion but don't have clue to your life in my mind
Stay with me
We could learn to fight
Like every good boy should
Cling to me
We are blacked out in visions of China
Tonight
We walk backwards say nothing
My visions of China
We're young and strong in this party
We're building our visions of China
We walk backwards say nothing
Visions of China
We're young and strong in this party
We're building our visions of China
We walk backwards say nothing
Our visions of China
We're young and strong in this party
We're building our visions of China
When the room is quiet
The daylight almost gone
It seems there's something I should know
Well I ought to leave but
The rain it never stops
And I have no particular place to go
Just when I think I'm winning
When I've broken every door
The ghosts of my life
Blow wilder then before
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
When my chance came to be king
The ghosts of my life
Blew wilder than the wind
Well I'm feeling nervous
And I find myself alone
The simple life's no longer there
Once I was so sure
Now the doubt inside my mind
Comes and goes but leads nowhere
Just when I think I'm winning
When I've broken every door
The ghosts of my life
Blow wilder then before
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
When my chance came to be king
The ghosts of my life
Blew wilder than the wind
Instrumental
Could I ever explain
This feeling of love it just lingers on
The fear in my heart that keeps telling me which way to turn
We'll wander again
Our clothes they are wet
We shy from the rain
Longing to touch all the places we know we can hide
The width of a room that can hold so much pleasure inside
Here am I alone again
A quiet town where life begins
Here am I just wondering
Nightporters go
Nightporters slip away
I'll watch for a sign
And if I should ever again cross your mind
I'll sit in my room and wait until nightlife begins
I'm catching my breath
We'll both brave the weather again
Here am I alone again
A quiet town where life gives in
Here am I just wondering
Nightporters go
Nightporters slip away
Sometimes the comfort of a room
Sometimes I'm quite alone
I pack to leave a foreign town
It seems I'll never know
But I'll rent new accomodation
We'll make plans for mobile homes
Slow boats moving with the tide
Drifting far from shore
It's the nature of this country life
I've never known before
Still we'll make plans for buildings and houses
From mobile homes
Plant life
My life
Still life in mobile homes
Plant life
My life
Still life in mobile homes
The sound of wildlife fills the air
So calm and dry
The bushland burns in this southern heart
Like an open fire
Still we'll make plans for buildings and houses
From mobile homes...mobile homes
Plant life
My life
Still life in mobile homes
Blood life
My life
Still life in mobile homes
A voice screams from heaven
As we start to sail
It's the calling of the fatherland
I used to know so well
But our age new accomodation
Will make plans for mobile homes
PLant life
My life
Still life in mobile homes
Plant life
My life
Still life in mobile homes
It's a new design
The cut and style you know so well
Spins across the floor
It's the same routine
Just one last word before you go
Why should I ask for more?
Then out of the blue
you're here by me
Moving
Taking my chance
Learning
Methods of dance
It's such as price to pay
You sense the doubt inside my mind
But never ask me why
No second chances now
I could be sure if I were to live at your speed of life
Then out of the blue
you're here by me
Moving
Taking my chance
Learning
Methods of dance
Oh, oh, oh
Methods of dance
Boys, now the times are changing the going could get rough
Boys, would that ever cross your mind
Boys, are you contemplating moving out somewhere
Boys, will you ever find the time?
Here we are stranded
Somehow it all seems the same
Here comes the quiet life again?
Boys, now the country's only miles away from here
Boys, do you recognise the signs?
Boys, when those driving hands push against the tracks
Boys, it's too late to wonder why
As you turn to leave
Never looking back
Will you think of me?
Will you ever, could it ever stop?
Once I was young
Once I was smart
Now I'm living on the edge of my nerves
The things we said weren't quite so tough
When we were young
Well I'm burning
I'm burning buildings
I'm building...this time
For the art of parties
Under heavy weather
The art of parties
I'm burning...burning
I'm living
I'm living my life
I'm living
This time
The wind blew through my hair
Once I was young
I'd shelter from the sun
Once I was smart
We lived on the strength of our nerves
When we were young
Well I'm burning
I'm burning buildings
I'm building...this time
