Shakers And Movers lyrics

Artist  : Midnight Oil 
Song : Shakers And Movers
 


Won't you come on down the line, away from barren
ground
The harlot and the autocrat, are they
driving you further down
The season's rhymes,
they anchor me, against the raging tide
Take
you to the last wild place, skin and the stars
they embrace
A caveman could a saint become,
on a hospital ward on the Somme
We can dive
into distant amoebas, our wings could melt in the
sun

I can shake, I can move, but I live
can't without your love
I can break, Over you,
but I live without your love

Our poet Henry
Lawson, he named them, the lay'em out
brigade
Here they come, there they go, oh
great god of development
Don't really know you
yet
Coastline hosed down washed away, economics
now there's nothing left
Tomorrow's child takes
concrete footsteps
And theyll drink champagne
or be damned

And the storm is breaking
now, yes the storm is crashing
down

(Moginie/Garrett)
