Paul Kelly - Bicentennial Lyrics lyrics

rate me

A ship is sailing into harbour

A party's waiting on the shore

And they're running up the flag now

And they want us all to cheer

Charlie's head nearly reaches the ceiling

But his feet don't touch the floor

>From a prison issue blanket his body's swinging

He won't dance any more

Take me away from your dance floor

Leave me out of your parade

I have not the heart for dancing

For dancing on his grave

Hunted man out on the Barcoo

Broken man on Moreton Bay

Hunted man across Van Diemen's

Hunted man all swept away

Take me away from your dance floor

Leave me out of your parade

I have not the heart for dancing

For dancing on his grave
