Subject: We are Australian From: GUEST,jbcopley@hotmail.com Date: 25 Jan 01 - 05:59 PM Does anyone know where I can get the lyrics to this song? I've searched the web a fair bit but obviously not in the right spot. Chorus goes: we are one, but we are many and from all the lands on earth we come..... |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: We are Australian From: Helen Date: 25 Jan 01 - 07:59 PM Hi from Oz. I have to admit I've heard this song way too many times in the last year with the Olympics, and we'll probably get overloaded with it for the centenary of the Federation of Australia this year. But give me a few years to get over that & I'll probably admit it's a good song (grin). Helen

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: We are Australian From: GUEST,John Hill Date: 02 Feb 01 - 05:52 AM I'm fairly sure this was written by Bruce Woodley of the "The Seekers". It is on their 25th Anniversary Reunion CD. Great folk group who actually outsold the Beatles one year in the sixties. I went to see them again last year at Birmingham NEC .... Judith Durham.... what a great voice... |

Subject: Lyr Add: WE ARE AUSTRALIAN From: Jim Dixon Date: 15 Jul 02 - 09:21 PM Copied from http://www.southcom.com.au/~jennifert/tas/we-are.html WE ARE AUSTRALIAN
I came from the dreamtime, from the dusty red soil plains.
CHO: We are one, but we are many,
I came upon the prison ship bowed down by iron chains.
I'm the daughter of a digger who sought the mother lode.
I'm a teller of stories. I'm a singer of songs.
I'm the hot wind from the desert. I'm the black soil of the plains.
I am, you are, we are Australian.

I know we had it rammed down our collective throats during the Olympics - which I for one could have done without, but even so, it's still a good song. Makes me feel sort of what's the word, patriotic? That'll do. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: We are Australian From: greg stephens Date: 16 Jul 02 - 07:07 AM Unfamiliar with that song. An inteesting couple of little borrows for the "Flying Cloud"..,are there bits of any other folksongs lurking in there? |
