Solid Rock
I realised that this country that I grew up in, that I thought was my country, wasn't. I had to reassess my whole relationship with the land and the landscape, and understand that we had come from somewhere else, and we had dis-empowered a whole race of people when we arrived.Shane Howard[6]

Out here nothin' changes
Not in a hurry anyway
You can feel the endlessness
With the comin' of the light 'o day
You're talkin' bout a chosen place
You wanna sell it in a marketplace
Well
Well just a minute now
You're standin' on
Solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
Right down the line
Well round about the dawn of time
The Dreaming all began
A crowd of people came
Well they were lookin' for their promised land
We're runnin' from the heart of darkness
Searchin' for the heart of light
It was their paradise
Well they were standin' on
Solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Were blowin' cold that night
Well they were standin' on the shore one day
Saw the white sails in the sun
Wasn't long before they felt the sting
White man, white law, white gun
Don't tell me that it's justified
Cause somewhere
Someone lied
Yeah, well someone lied
Someone lied
Genocide
Well someone lied
And now you're standin' on
Solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
Solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
Solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin' down the line
No!

Razor's Edge
youtube.com
Got a letter from Davie just the other day
Said livin in Queensland was not OK
Can't find the money just to pay the rent
'nd the food and the herb -
Well they're just heaven sent
He's been livin' on the Razor's edge
Tryin' to touch the sun
He won't fall for that same old trick again
Cathy's alright. She just gets lonely everyday
She's livin' with a dream-world of yesterday
And there she is but here she'll stay
"Well it just never works out," she said, "Anyway!"
She's been livin' on the Razor's edge
Tryin' to touch the sun
She won't fall for that same old trick again
Lulu's too tired of livin' down by Torquay
She's gettin' herself together - financially
Says "One of these days I'm just gonna lie in the sun"
But right now I'm wondering does that day ever come?
She's been livin' on the Razor's edge
Tryin' to touch the sun
She won't fall for that same old trick again
Got a letter from Davie just the other day
'nd the note just read, "Please come to Byron Bay"
Well the heart says 'Go' 'nd the head says 'Stay'
'nd the big wheels just keep turnin' everyday...
Don't go livin' on a Razor's edge
Or tryin' to touch the sun
'Cause you'll just fall for that same old trick again - (that's what they tell ya')
Well we're livin' on a Razor's edge
Tryin' to touch the sun
'nd we won't fall for that same old trick again
(Such a fine line...
...I was meanin' to write)
