Lyric Bicentennial

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

Charlie s head nearly reaches the ceiling
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
Broken man on Moreton Bay
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
