Shipyards Of New Zealand |
| Thought one day I’d make my fortune |
| Like the ancient cavalcades |
| From the shipyards of New Zealand |
| Chasing history I left home |
| Moving west into the sunset |
| Became the sunset of our lives |
| I was factory made and settled |
| Safe from storm and broken earth |
| There’s so much to do every day |
| Dreams keep on disappearing |
| We cling to the walls of our heart |
| Keeps us from coming undone |
| Now danger lurks behind the spreader |
| And Charlton Heston casts the first stone |
| User interference birthmarks |
| Clever, not very wise |
| Let the lamplights keep on shining now |
| While those searchlights in skies they are turning |
| We climb to the top of the heap |
| I wish I could fly |
| I can’t get lost |
| I can’t get confused |
| Something’s misplaced |
| Maybe for good |
| (Moginie/Garrett) |
