Lyrics

When I met Jesus Christ
He was almost ten years old
And he was helping his Mother push
A trolley full of all they owned

And because they couldn’t find
An Inn they could get in
They were heading to the city
And leaving Bethlehem.

“Couldn’t you perform a miracle?”
“I’m out of them,” – He said.
“I tried turning nothing into warmth
But it just made my Mother cry.

It just made my mother cry.”

Mary Magdalen has become a man
And tonight he’s old
And she has been riding
my tram.

Now it’s late
and she’s trying to sleep
Beneath a poster
for a bank

“Your dreams are important to us.”
As it bathes
her face
in gold.

Come give us your natural gifts,
We make wealth from toil.
Come pretend for history’s page,
That we’re Advancing
Australia Fair.
Let’s pretend that we’re all Advancing
Australia Fair.

Back down the road
I found
The church we built
On the black man’s bones,

Was empty,
and out the front,
a sign read “All but sold.”
a sign read “All but sold.”

And we all owe so much money
But to whom, we’re not quite sure.
So, head down we just keep running
Along our fading golden shores
So, head down we just keep running
Along our fading golden shores.

Come give us your natural gifts,
We make wealth from toil.
Come pretend for history’s page,
That we’re Advancing
Australia Fair.
Let’s pretend that we’re all Advancing
Australia Fair.
