A Burning Coast - Larrikin Love

At a tin mine we do stand

And here I realise that it’s all in my hands

At the tips of our feet where the waves stun the rocks

Where the sun steals the sand

Here I do plot

I bang my fists and I crush the cliffs

I scream out into the mouth

Of this cave, this fiery cave

This fucking world we cannot save!

So I start again, turn the wheel

I pierce my skin — I feel so real!

I’m a lovelorn shepherd — lightening skies!

The future blows into my eyes

So with a sense of terror and bewilderment

We damage our pasts with romance and hatred

So burn all your books, your videos and CDs

Forget all that has happened and wail down on your knees!

I take two steps back and tie my boots

I run and dive into the blue

I can feel the air redesign my hair

Redesign my life, and my cares

The deeper I swim the more I know

The more I love, the more I grow
