Australia - Steve Howe

Play the halls

See the stalls tonight

Open roads the like

Across the dateline change will never strike

Australia lies ahead

Australia, we head for the mainland

Clutching our gifts from the East

Only to find out

Planes and the highways

STrain the paths and the by-ways

Remain, still it’s leading me

Closer to you

Australia, we’re leaving you behind

Australia, we’re taking the easy way out

>From now on

«Come to Australia,» can’t get away from ya still

«Come to Australia, we’ll take good care of ya.»

Australia, you save your face while fashions slip

Australia, you’re balanaced between

The powers' tightening grip

I’ve been to Australia, it’s a long way for ya still

«Go via Australia, they’ll take care of ya.»
