Men At Work are best known for their 1982 hit "Down Under", a joyful, comic song about Australians travelling the world with confidence in the virtues of their country. The song was commercially successful in many countries, and became the No.1 in the Australian popcharts near the end of 1982. It was re-released as an unofficial theme song during Australia's successful 1983 America's Cup challenge, and has become an unofficial national anthem for many who count themselves as part of Perth's underground neo-burlesque movement, as well as those in Melbourne's aging rude boy scene. now, it's free and you will discover so much great music :) Upload Your MusicFor ArtistsFor LabelsWidgetsDownload Last.fmImage ChartsPlugins & ExtrasData FeedsBlog Badges & LogoTop ChartsWeekly Top ArtistsWeekly Top TracksOverall Tag ChartsFree DownloadsForumsWeb Site SupportLast.fm Client SupportFeedback and IdeasAbout UsContactAdvertiseTeamModeratorsCareersHelpFAQSupportWhat’s NewPrivacySubscribeRecent Updates.

Sail To You Lyrics

Men At Work

Now there is this place
With so much space
Its at the bottom of the world
So it lay unspoiled
Wind and rain, hurricane
And the blackman reigned
Till the white man came
They sailed to you
Sail to you
People talk there
And they talk here
About the new world
They say its the last frontier
But its so one dimension
I feel apprehension
And you cant disguise
The condescension
I sail to you
I sail to you
Dear old england had a mind
Around that time
cause they had a few problems with
The rising crime
Wouldnt lose our head
If you stole a loaf of bread
You got a one way ticket
To australia instead
I dont know why, I dont even try
To work out all of the reasons why
Well its like a drug--gets in the blood
Calls me back and thats enough
I fly to you
Fly to you
I dont care and you dont care
All I know thats its there
Breath the air into my lungs
And pray that doomsday never comes
Sail to you
Sail to you
