Steel)
He came up from the country looking for a job of work,
He came from a town that died a slow hard death,
And when the train pulled into Spencer Street, he was fast asleep.
He opened one eye and he took a long deep breath.
On the first day he was dazed by the noise and by the bustle,
He sat in the square, and tried so hard to think.
Found a cheap hotel and booked himself a room all damp and shabby
He sat in the bar, he bought himself a drink.
He sang: "Flow river flow, flow to the sea,
Flow on big river, bring my dreams back home to me."
He rose early on the second day,
And watched the dirty struggle of the dawn
To rise above the smoke and haze.
And armed with a map he made his way from factory to foundry,
Joined the queues of the unskilled labourers.
Then an old man came, shook his hand,
Sat right there beside him,
And he heard the tale of rural poverty.
Shook his head, and with a tear he said,
"All that you have told me
Is like having my own story told to me."
He sang: "Flow river flow, flow to the sea,
Flow on big river, bring my dreams back home to me."
Drinking harder every night,
He made himself keep searching
Till he found he could not rise to greet the day.
And he lay behind a vale of tears on the Yarra bank that morning,
And he wondered how the hell things got this way.
Late that night he stumbled from an inner city bar,
Barely conscious down the alley he did sway.
And they beat him, they sank the boot in,
And they took his last four dollars,
Left him dying in the dawn, it was Saturday...
He sang: "Flow river flow, flow to the sea,
Flow on big river, bring my dreams back home to me."
Flow river flow, flow to the sea,
Flow on big river, bring my dreams back home to me.
Flow river flow, oh flow on to the sea,
Flow on big river, bring my dreams, bring them home to me

  • BRUNSWICK
    "In the summer all the old men, they sit on their front porches,
    While the women comb their hair, shell their peas
    And wonder what they've missed.
    And the forlorn children scan the streets..."
  • GUN
    "A bunch of withered roses lie, a faded silhouette
    Caught you jumpin' in the deep end last night, but it hasn't happened yet.
    They're tying up your body with some rusty Number 8 and they say,
    Too early with your run, son...."
  • INDUSTRIAL TOWN
    "Down in the valley, the valley so low,
    Lay the town over and hear the winds blow,
    Lay the town over and dig it all in,
    For what we once had will not come again...."
  • MISSING IN ACTION
    "And after all this time why must you be
    Missing in action, missing in action?
    And after all these years why must you be
    Missing in action, missing in action?..."
  • MORTON SONG FOR TEX
    "He stopped to change a tyre out near Warnambool,
    His Chevy it was all over the road.
    He pulled into town sometime in the early afternoon,
    More than a normal travelling salesman, the guitar his only load...."
  • SAY THE WORD
    "On a day not quite like any other
    In a land both warm and sweet,
    You were born such a proud, proud daughter
    A smirk on your face, the world at your feet...."
  • SISTERS OF MERCY
    "Oh the winds they were howlin' both ragged and cold
    Through the grey Melbourne streets in the pre-Christmas days,
    And the Sisters of Mercy looked out through their tents
    At the fires in petrol drums, they seemed to say..."
  • UNDER THE CLOCKS
    "Hey, hey, I see a Melbourne girl on a rusty Malvern Star,
    Through the spastic Northcote streets at dawn
    See the way her hair's tied back,
    Her cheeks so red, a grey coat ragged and worn...."
