《The Last Frontier (Live Version)》歌词

[00:03:54] There's a corrugated highway

[00:03:54] Leading north from

[00:03:54] Port Augusta lined with ratted cars that didn't rate a tow

[00:03:54] The Salt plains out of

[00:03:54] Pimba And your eyes begin to stream

[00:03:54] On to Kingoonya huddled dusty by the road

[00:03:54] Romantic notions shattered

[00:03:54] Like the tyres that didn't hack it

[00:03:54] This has got to be the country's last frontier

[00:03:54] Where a sports car's next to useless

[00:03:54] Running cattle grids and river beds

[00:03:54] We drove a van from 1963

[00:03:54] Someone mentioned walkabout

[00:03:54] And kiss your job goodbye

[00:03:54] Just to see the country shimmer through the windscreen

[00:03:54] Drinking beer, telling stories

[00:03:54] While laughter filled the night

[00:03:54] And flexi-time's behind you like a bad dream

[00:03:54] You got a flat on

[00:03:54] Anzac Highway

[00:03:54] And Lawson on your shelf

[00:03:54] Its a Southern

[00:03:54] Comfort, air-conditioned rage

[00:03:54] Where a homestead's more than just a cheap print

[00:03:54] Dangling from a wall

[00:03:54] And mateship's more than lines upon a page

[00:03:54] We went looking for

[00:03:54] Australia

[00:03:54] In between the

[00:03:54] TV lines '

[00:03:54] Cause the

[00:03:54] ABC just couldn't make it real

[00:03:54] Colour documentary

[00:03:54] From a beanbag on the floor:

[00:03:54] Never shows as much as it conceals

[00:03:54] A stark and blistered

[00:03:54] Alice Springs

[00:03:54] And a river runs with shame

[00:03:54] And you wipe the sheets of bulldust from your eyes

[00:03:54] Another country's uniform

[00:03:54] And the mirage it falls apart

[00:03:54] To the open gap between the truth and lies

[00:03:54] Go and see your country, mate

[00:03:54] The travel agents scream

[00:03:54] Politicians sell it's hard to score a pasttime

[00:03:54] Signs and high-wire fences

[00:03:54] Hold the land where

[00:03:54] I belong It's as if

[00:03:54] I'm in the outback for the last time
