Lyrics for Shakers and Movers
Won't you come on down the line 'Way from barren ground Harlot and the autocrat Are they drivin' you further down The season's rhymes as they anchor me Against the raging tide Take you to the last wild place Skin and the stars they embrace A caveman could a saint become In a hospital ward on the Somme We can dive into distant amoebas Our wings could melt in the sun I can shake, I can move But I can't live without your love I can break over you But I can't live without your love Our poet Henry Lawson, he named them The lay 'em out brigade Here they come, there they go Oh great God, of development Don't really know you yet Coastline hosed down washed away Economics now there's nothing left Tomorrow's child takes concrete footsteps And they'll drink champagne or be damned And the storm is breaking now Yeah, the storm is breaking now Yes, the storm is crashing down I can shake, I can move But I can't live without your love I can break over you But I can't live without your love I can shake, I can move But I can't live without your love I can break over you But I can't live without your love
