lyrics

By the Yarra bank sits a pretty little town
There’s a golden, sunny glimmer on the waters of the river
Through its streets there is a trickling sound
It’s old and it’s romantic and I’m told there is still magic
In its trees there to be found
It was settled in the sixties by some artists who had fixed
These little cabins up from their chimneys to the ground
The men and women here built this town.
They were just looking for a little space
Looking for a pretty place to breathe again

These days, inner city livings getting pretty hard
Their doing million dollar bank loans for these little urban pack homes
And you don’t even get a hills hoist and a yard
All stacked up like tuna cans and the soundtrack is the traffic jams
Best get a miKi card to get around
It’s time to uproot, hire a mover, commute and buy a scooter
You can move a little further out of town
We’re all just following that little river down.
We’re all just looking for a little space
Looking for a pretty place to breathe again
This country is as rich as it is vast
There’s a lot of people saying how good it is to be Australian
Saying, whatever made it great is fading fast
So they’ve zoned off all the waters and they’ve shut down all the borders
To ensure no one gets past who don’t belong
Rounded up like criminals, these undrowned men and women
All but die upon our shores before too long
Crying out the chorus of a song
They are just looking for a little space
Looking for a pretty place to breathe again
