Kelly, Paul - Bicentennial Lyrics
A ship is sailing into harbour
A party's waiting on the shore
And they're running up the flag now
And they want us all to cheer
But his feet don't touch the floor
From a prison issue blanket his body's swinging
He won't dance any more
Take me away from your dance floor
Leave me out of your parade
I have not the heart for dancing
For dancing on his grave
Hunted man out on the Barcoo
Hunted man across Van Diemen's
Hunted man all swept away
Take me away from your dance floor
Leave me out of your parade
I have not the heart for dancing
For dancing on his grave

Kelly, Paul Bicentennial Comments
Always loved Paul Kelly. He captures humankind's highs and lows so succinctly
I play the tape as my '99 Nissan Hardbody has a cassette player! Audio might not be as good as a cd but it still plays and conveys the feeling. Love "To Her Door" and all of the tracks really. Hitting reverse on the player always has the kids amazed, puzzled by rew/ff.
this should be played every Invasion day
Paul Kelly is a true craftsman he can take something so simple it give it so much more, he is probaly the greatest song writer to come out of Australia.
This is song is amongst many that I class as favorite from PK.
Amazing song!
This is one of my favorite songs of all time, but I haven't heard it in years, since I lost the cassette. Hard to find in the US..
