*The second Bridge#2 sort of fades into a variation of adlib#2... 
and then back into Bridge#2... 
 
That's about it! 
 
LYRICS 
------ 
brought up in a world of changes 
part time cleaner in a holiday flat 
I stare out to sea at the ships at night 
no anaesthesia, I'm going to work on it day by day 
no zephyr, no light relief it seems 
 
but maybe it's a dream 
I'm lying back in a row of timber 
cases placed out on the dock 
with nightmare faces looking at me 
and I can see now, I wanna be free now 
 
   this is my home 
   this is my sea 
   don't paint it with the future of factories 
   I want to stay 
   I feel ok 
   there's nothing else that's perfect 
   I'll have my way 
 
brought up in a world of changes, 
waste-product, pedestrian limb from limb 
short-changed by the surfin' priest again 
two children in the harbour, 
they play their games storm water drain 
write their contract in the sand, it'll be grey for life 
 
but you can draw the blind, 
but you can't stop the sun from shining 
on and on and getting you there 
the tide forever beckons you to leave 
but something holds you back, 
it's not the promise of a swell or a girl 
just a hope that someday, some way, 
it'll be ok.  You stop and say 
 
   This is my home 
   This is my sea 
   Don't paint it with the future of factories 
   this is my life 
   this is my right 
   I'll make it what I want to 
   I'll stay and I'll fight 
 
END 
 
This song absolutely rocks.  Hail to the kings.
