Matilda On The Beach

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree
He sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me"
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
He sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me"
Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred
Down came the troopers, one, two, three
They said, "lose the jumbuck that you've got in your tucker bag
Or you'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me"
Down jumped the swagman, down into the billabong
"You'll never take me alive," said he
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me"
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me
His ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me"

Lucky Girl

You left to cross the depths
of an impossible sea
For months on end, you took your time
in coming back to me
What foreign ports took you?
What did the Baltic winds do to you?
Well tell them you're my lucky girl
and that you don't deserve
to wallow in the waves alone
in some far-off part of the world
I'll stay right by the radio
with a spotlight trained on the sea
in whichever way the starlights say
you'll be coming home to me
Just who would leave you there?
A flash in the sky ignites the air, you
Tell them you're a lucky girl
and that you don't deserve
to sit and rust out in the sun
in some lonely part of the world
But you know they won't listen to
anything you'll say
they've gotten all they can from you
they'll let you wilt away
but I won't have that.

City lights, bomber sights
Fill my vision
I pray tonight we end this fight for good
I hope they fade into the air like vapour
and I hope they don't feel a thing
Target lines, warning signs
Cloud my vision
I hope tonight we make this flight and they never feel a thing
Spotter's lights, firefights
in the distance
Fire fall, end it all
and hope that they never feel a thing

A glow like the sun will descend on us all
so the things that we've known will all burn
And its wings will unfurl like a great silver bird
Over all the corners of the world
