Shipyards Of New Zealand Lyrics

    Thought one day i'd make my fortune
    Like the ancient cavalcades
    From the shipyards of new zealand
    Chasing history i left home
    Moving west into the sunset
    Became the sunset of our lives
    I was factory made and settled
    Safe from storm and broken earth

    There's so much to do every day
    Dreams keep on disappearing
    We cling to the walls of our heart
    Keeps us from coming undone

    Now danger lurks behind the spreader
    And charlton heston casts the first stone
    User interference birthmarks
    Clever, not very wise

    Let the lamplights keep on shining now
    While those searchlights in skies they are turning
    We climb to the top of the heap
    I wish i could fly

    I can't get lost
    I can't get confused
    Something's misplaced
    Maybe for good

    (moginie/garrett)
