Shakers And Movers Lyrics - Blue Sky Mining - Midnight Oil

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 they'll drink champagne or be damned 

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