lyrics

I set off from New England when I was 21
Across the bold Pacific, I chased the ocean sun
I landed in Australia with nothing on my mind
All the rain and the snow I left behind

We drank our hearts in King's Cross - got pinched pissing on The Rocks
Got friendly with the whores of George St, and woke up in our socks
When you're drinking in Australia, the fun's a glass away
and that Southern Cross comes shining til the break of the next day.

From George St, up to Bondi Beach.
From King's Cross up into The Rocks.
The monumental sight of a Darling Harbour night.
I spent some of the best days of my life.

When you wake up in the morning, hungover and out of fun
make sure you grab your sunnies before you meet that Australian sun.
That old Australian sun, that old Australian sun
Teamed up with last night's Goon bag, and they got me on the run.
Said aye man Johnny! hand me my gun
I've got myself a duel with that old Australian sun
That old Australian sun, that old Australian sun
When those rays of noon come shining, you ain't gonna have no fun

From George St, up to Bondi Beach.
From King's Cross up into The Rocks.
The monumental sight of a Darling Harbour night.
I spent some of the best days of my life.

Then I met a girl, her hair was blond, her eyes were blue, her skin was tan.
She said she wanted to see the body of an American.

That morning on the harbor when I said goodbye to her
I told her that I always would come back to her one day
and as the sunset falls to meet the evening on the hill
I told her I always loved her, I always did, I always will.

From George St, up to Bondi Beach.
From King's Cross up into The Rocks.
The monumental sight of a Darling Harbour night.
I spent some of the best days of my life.
