《The Great Australian Dream(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Great Australian Dream (Live) - Graeme Connors

[00:00:17] I turned west in search of something I'd never seen before

[00:00:24] The kind of vision Splendid Banjo saw

[00:00:30] With a fresh roll in my camera and an eye for things unique

[00:00:38] I left my mobile phone at home and went outback for a week

[00:00:46] I stood beneath the Tree of Knowledge let my imagination run

[00:00:54] Way back to the Great Shearer's Strike of '91

[00:01:00] And as I quietly contemplated all that tragic history

[00:01:08] A tour bus full of kids from the city pulled up in front of me

[00:01:16] And its baseball caps on backwards like they wear 'em in LA

[00:01:24] Coca Cola Nike shoes and Oakley shades

[00:01:30] Here in the middle of the Heartland I feel I'm caught between

[00:01:38] Beverley Hills 90210 and the Great Australian Dream

[00:01:56] Thought I'd try a new direction down the Barcoo headed south

[00:02:03] To the town built round the Black Stump and Jacky Howe

[00:02:10] But it was back on course next morning to the Stockman's Hall of Fame

[00:02:17] Where I traced the steps of the pioneers and ran into those kids again

[00:02:27] With baseball caps on backwards like they wear 'em in LA

[00:02:34] Coca Cola Nike shoes and Oakley shades

[00:02:40] In the midst of myth and legend again I'm caught between

[00:02:48] Beverley Hills 90210 and the Great Australian Dream

[00:03:07] I set out to find the spirit the inspiration for John Flynn

[00:03:14] Walked the streets where Fysh and McGuiness gave the Kangaroo its wings

[00:03:21] But each time I thought I'd found it what makes us who we are

[00:03:28] That bus pulls up beside me and the kids get out

[00:03:35] Yeah the kids get out

[00:03:39] And its baseball caps on backwards like they wear 'em in LA

[00:03:47] Coca Cola Nike shoes and Oakley shades

[00:03:53] So I figure there's an answer somewhere in between

[00:04:01] Beverley Hills 90210 and the Great Australian Dream

[00:04:11] I'm lookin' for an answer

[00:04:18] To the Great Australian dream

[00:04:25] There's gotta be an answer

[00:04:32] To the Great Australian Dream
