Lyrics
Palm trees swaying in the wind
Dropping all their fronds
On the golden beach
that Im walking
Out where the ocean meets the sky
past the coral reef
boats out in the bay
the horizon
I am never going home
I’ll die on my own
by the side of the road
I am never going home
I’ll die on my own
Out
By the phosphate mine
where they dug a hole
straight into the heart of the island
That’s
where they beat the shit
out of some kids
who were throwing stones the windows
I am never going home
I’ll die on my own
by the side of the road
I am never going home
I’ll die on my own
by the side of the road
Its paradise
don’t you fucking know
its paradise
by the side of the road
its paradise
I am never going home
I’ll die on my own
by the side of the road
I am never going home
I’ll die on my own
by the side of the road
Rubbish blowing down the street
catching at the feet of a suited man up in Brisbane
He’s talking on the phone to someone he knows
199 Gympie road
