Australia
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): 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," can't get away from ya still
"Come to, 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, it's a long way for ya still
"Go via, they'll take care of ya"
