Virgin Ground
Sydney town 1885Sulphur air and blackened skies And you live your life in the pocket of a richer man In the sheds and the docks and down the mines From the back blocks of Queensland to the Goutre Line Thanks for the money and they kick the strikers down with guns We won't drop anchor till we reach Alta Mira sound Heave away we're new Australia bound Heave away we're new Australia bound For virgin ground In pucky little offices in AdelaideYou count company profits but you're underpaid There must be more to life than the promise of another day So collect the tools and pack your bags The sea is calling hoist a brave new flag We'll make history in the forests of Paraguay We won't drop anchor till we reach Altermira sound Heave away we're new Australia bound Heave away we're new Australia bound For virgin ground Wide eyed romantics and a heartbreak dream Your motives aren't what they seem Letras de cancionesYou've got your feet caked in Australian mud And you can't deny what's in your blood Under Paraguay skies and the nights so cold You can forsake your country and lose your soul You've got to run from your troubles, no need to stand your ground Heave away we're new Australia bound We won't drop anchor till we reach Alta Mira sound Heave away we're new Australia bound For virgin ground.
