FINAL CHORUS:
I hear much support for the monarchy
I see the Union Jack in flames, let it burn
I see Namatjira with dignity
I see Truganini's in chains

OUTRO:
(with bass, drums)
And the world won't stand still
(with bass, drums, guitar 2 - riff 1)
And the world won't stand still
(with bass, drums, both guitars - riff 1)
And the world won't stand still

End on Em strum

Surf's Up Tonight

Wherever the wind blows, when it blows over the sea
The moon's sitting high, waves will rise water shapes, waves will take
you there
Surf's up tonight
Summer's on hold, it will go running away, you've got to move now
Get inside, take that dive, get inside today
Surf's up tonight
Now I was lonely, you were too, I met you down at the water line
Now there's something we can do, now there's something left to do
Wherever you are when you're coming over land
There's a place where you can throw it all away
There's a place where you can forget, you get wet, it's free, you get
high, you're alive...surf's up tonight


King Of The Mountain

Walking through the high dry grass
Pushing my way through slow
Yellow belly black snake
Sleeping on a red rock
Waiting for the stranger to go

Sugar train stops at the crossing
Cane cockies cursing below
Bad storm coming
Better run to the top of the mountain

Mountain in the shadow of light
Rain in the valley below
Mountain in the shadow of light
Rain in the valley

CHORUS
Well you can call me Peter, say you're Paul
Don't put me up on your bedroom wall
Call me king of the mountain

Blacksmith fires up the bellows
Cane cutters burning the load
Workers of the world
Run to the top of the mountain

Mountain in the shadow of light

CHORUS

I can't take the hands from my face
there are some things we can't replace

Mountain

CHORUS

Over liquid tarmac wastelands of cactus and heat
Down cobblestone alleyways of washing day sheets
Up ghost prairie mountains of sunset and space
Down the road a familiar face
Across the wilderness
Ot further than the bush
I will follow you

CHORUS
