Songs of Australia: the landscape, the country and the city.
Icehouse, "Great Southern Land".
Standing at the limit of an endless ocean
Stranded like a runaway, lost at sea
City on a rainy day down in the harbour
Watching as the grey clouds shadow the bay
Cold Chisel, "Flame Trees".
Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver
And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
There's no change, there's no pace
Everything within its place
Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around
Paul Kelly, "From St Kilda to Kings Cross" (that's the one in Sydney, not London).
I want to see the sun go down from St Kilda Esplanade
Where the beach needs reconstruction, where the palm trees have it hard
I'd give you all of Sydney harbour (all that land and all that water)
For that one sweet promenadeI'd give you all of Sydney harbour (all that land and all that water)
For that one sweet promenade
It's good to be home.
