Gyroscope - Australia lyrics

rate me

In the early 80's when I washed up on the shore,

I could breathe a little more than I would realise.

You can call me crazy, you can call me what you will.

You could take the bitter pill if it helps you sleep at night.

It's a long, long way my crooked friend.

Such a long, long way back home.

So close, yet we've come so far

So close, still we've got so far.

I can safely say we feel as safe as we like,

Lest we forget those who died, I never will.

Such a perfect island, tucked away in the sea.

The real land of the free - do you hear me?

It's a long way home my crooked friend.

But I do appreciate the time we spend.

It's a long, long way back home

Such a long, long way back home

So close, yet we've come so far.

So close, still we've got so far

A long way home...
