Never Come Back

John he was a tailor
Away lads come away
Till he listed for a sailor
We land at break of day
He signed aboard the Southern Cross
Away lads come away
And if she goes to sea then he'll never come back
Chorus
She's a wreck she's a wreck she's a wreck she's a wreck
From the crack in her Keel to the holes in her deck
She’s a wreck she's a wreck she's a wreck she's a wreck
And if she puts to see then she'll never come back
The captain was the Devil's Own
Away lads come away
A poor man's work is never done
We land at break of day
A sailor is a journeyman
Away lads come away
And if we put to sea then we'll never come back
Chorus
And now his bones they lie below

In South Australia I was born
To me heave away haul away
In South Australia around Cape Horn
And we're bound for South Australia
Chorus
Haul away you rolling Kings
To me heave away haul away
Haul away you hear me sing
And we're bound for South Australia
There is only one thing grieves my mind
To Me heave away haul away
To think of the girl that I left behind
And we’re bound for South Australia
Chorus

The Wreckers
06:35
|

White horses running high
The sea roars angry at the sky
The rudder sheared she takes the fury of the storm
The rocky shore is drawing nigh
the stricken vessel lurchers like a hind that has been brought to bay
the storm a fearsome Hunter that has blotted out the Light of Day
The Trap is sprung the teeth are Bared and granite tears the keel away
The longboat’s down and broken and the Rocky coast will have its prey
A great ship of the ocean
Laden high upon the distant main
A proud and gaudy Galleon
Full of treasure for the King of Spain
But storms care for silver Bought
With greed or slavery or pain
Off course and lost all hands are drowned
The spaniards lose the Wreckers gain
And God Have Mercy on their Souls
Oh lord eternal Pity Me
And those that fair upon the sea
The blood and danger of the Spanish main
A stranger in a far country
Oh lord eternal set me free
This is not where I want to be
I pray for life against our savage enemies on land
And the cruel uncaring sea

The Heart Of The Machine
04:57
|

I'm Cold Hearted man in the heart of the machine
I'm a Smooth Operator and I keep my act clean
I don't feel anger I don't feel pain
I will make it plain I know your name
I am doing what they tell me I'm An Agent of the State
I've got the right attitude I'm an arm of Fate
don't make me wait
Chorus
I believe in everything they tell me
everything they tell me must be true
I believe that paradise is waiting in the shadows
I could put the finger on you
I'm a conscientious worker and I do what I do
I never miss a trick I've got my eye on you
The Corporation paid and we're of one mind
the world would be a better place without your kind
I'm the man on the corner as you walk down the street.
I've got the name and number of everyone you meet
I'm so discreet
Chorus

The Southern Cross

We hold of course we do not choose
we serve the Southern Cross
the ship decides and we are used
they never count the cost
can you hear us Hear us please
can you hear us calling
No One Left to save us now
save us we are falling
