Burnie (小溪) - Midnight Oil[00:00:00]
Brought up in a world of changes[00:00:20]
Part time cleaner in a holiday flat[00:00:25]
Stare out to sea at the ships at night[00:00:30]
No anaesthesia[00:00:40]
I'm gonna work on it day to day[00:00:44]
No zephyr no light relief it seems[00:00:49]
But maybe it's a dream[00:01:00]
I'm lying back in a row of timber cases placed out[00:01:04]
On the dock with nightmare faces looking at me[00:01:14]
And I can see now[00:01:20]
And I wanna be free now[00:01:23]
This is my home[00:01:25]
This is my sea[00:01:29]
Don't paint it with the future of factories[00:01:33]
I want to stay I feel okay[00:01:41]
There's nothing else as perfect[00:01:48]
I'll have my way[00:01:52]
Brought up in a world of changes[00:02:25]
Waste product pedestrian limb from limb[00:02:29]
Short changed by the surfing priest again[00:02:35]
Two children in the harbour[00:02:44]
They play their game storm water drain[00:02:48]
Write their contract in the sand[00:02:54]
It'll be gray for life[00:02:56]
But you can draw the blind[00:03:05]
But you can't stop the sun[00:03:08]
From shining on and on and getting you there[00:03:13]
Tide forever beckons you to leave[00:03:17]
But something holds you back[00:03:20]
It's not the promise of the swell or a girl[00:03:22]
Just a hope that someday someway it'll be okay[00:03:25]
So you stop and say[00:03:29]
This is my home[00:03:32]
This is my sea[00:03:36]
Don't paint it with the future of factories[00:03:40]
This is my life[00:03:47]
This is my right[00:03:51]
I'll make it what I want to[00:03:55]
I'll stay and I'll fight[00:03:59]
