lyrics

SOUTHERN LAND - Lyrics Pete Pascoe/Paul Dredge ©
Gum trees and possums in my memory
When I was a kid mind wandering free
Parents followed the trend, got a divorce
Before they went round the bend, pass the tomato sauce

Been living in this southern land busy trying to build this man
Trying hard to understand what drives us on

Numbed and painless in my childhood busy being careful and busy being good
Then I threw it away back when I turned 17
Things went astray, where they've always been

Long time dreaming in this southern land busy trying to build this man
Trying hard to understand what drives you on
And this happy bar’s reminding me
About travelling in this hippy van
Yeh, these happy hours finding me still dreaming in this southern land

Heard it called a convicts island,
Vast ancient land full of roos and red sand
Think what you’ve been back when you were 17
Living in a strange strange town
Think what you’ve been
