 fis
 fis
   fis
 Won't you come on down the line
 Away  from barren  ground
   fis
 The harlot and the autocrat
 Are they driving  you further  down
 fis  fis
 The season's rhymes, they anchor me
 Against  the raging tide
   fis
 Take you to the last wild place
 Skin  and the stars  they embrace
   fis
 A caveman could a saint become
 In a hospital  ward  on the Somme
 fis  fis
 We can dive into distant amoebas
   fis  fis
 Our wings could melt in the sun
  fis
 I can shake
  fis
 I can move
  fis  fis
 But I can't live without your love
  fis
 I can break
  fis
 Over you
  fis  fis  fis  fis
 But I can't live without your love
 fis
 Our poet Henry Lawson he named them
The  lay 'em out  brigade
   fis
 Here they come there they go
 fis
 Oh great god of development
 Don't really  know  you yet
 fis
 Coastline hosed down washed away
 Economics,  now there's  nothing left
 fis  fis
 Tomorrow's child takes concrete footsteps
 And they'll drink  champagne or be damned
 And the storm  is breaking  now
 Yeah the storm  is breaking  now
 Yes the storm  is breaking  now
