Midnight Oil - Burnie Lyrics
Brought up in a world of changesPart time cleaner in a holiday flatStare out to sea at the ships at nightNo anaesthesia, Im gonna work on it day to dayNo zephyr no light relief it seemsBut maybe its a dreamIm lying back in a row of timber cases placed outOn the dock with nightmare faces looking at meAnd I can see now, and I wanna be free nowThis is my homeThis is my seaDont paint it with the future, of factoriesI want to stay, I feel okayTheres nothing else as perfectIll have my wayBrought up in a world of changesWaste product, pedestrian, limb from limbShort changed by the surfing priest againTwo children in the harbourThey play their game stormwater drainWrite their contract in the sand, itll be gray for lifeBut you can draw the blindBut you cant stop the sunFrom shining on and on and getting you thereTide forever beckons you to leaveBut something holds you backIts not the promise of the swell or a girlJust a hope that someday someway itll be okaySo you stop and sayThis is my homeThis is my seaDont paint it with the future of factoriesThis is my lifeThis is my rightIll make it what I want toIll stay and Ill fight(moginie/garrett)
