Generate meaning
1
Sydney town 1885
2
Sulphur air and blackened skies
3
And you live your life in the pocket of a richer man
4
In the sheds and the docks and down the mines
5
From the back blocks of Queensland to the Goutre Line
6
Thanks for the money and they kick the strikers down with guns
7
We won't drop anchor till we reach Alta Mira sound
8
Heave away we're new Australia bound
9
Heave away we're new Australia bound
10
For virgin ground
11
In pucky little offices in Adelaide
12
You count company profits but you're underpaid
13
There must be more to life than the promise of another day
14
So collect the tools and pack your bags
15
The sea is calling hoist a brave new flag
16
We'll make history in the forests of Paraguay
17
We won't drop anchor till we reach Altermira sound
18
Heave away we're new Australia bound
19
Heave away we're new Australia bound
20
For virgin ground
21
Wide eyed romantics and a heartbreak dream
22
Your motives aren't what they seem
23
You've got your feet caked in Australian mud
24
And you can't deny what's in your blood
25
Under Paraguay skies and the nights so cold
26
You can forsake your country and lose your soul
27
You've got to run from your troubles, no need to stand your ground
28
Heave away we're new Australia bound
29
We won't drop anchor till we reach Alta Mira sound
30
Heave away we're new Australia bound
31
For virgin ground.
