That's about it! LYRICS ------ brought up in a world of changes part time cleaner in a holiday flat I stare out to sea at the ships at night no anaesthesia, I'm going to work on it day by day no zephyr, no light relief it seems but maybe it's a dream I'm lying back in a row of timber cases placed out on the dock with nightmare faces looking at me and I can see now, I wanna be free now this is my home this is my sea don't paint it with the future of factories I want to stay I feel ok there's nothing else that's perfect I'll have my way brought up in a world of changes, waste-product, pedestrian limb from limb short-changed by the surfin' priest again two children in the harbour, they play their games storm water drain write their contract in the sand, it'll be grey for life but you can draw the blind, but you can't stop the sun from shining on and on and getting you there the tide forever beckons you to leave but something holds you back, it's not the promise of a swell or a girl just a hope that someday, some way, it'll be ok. You stop and say This is my home This is my sea Don't paint it with the future of factories this is my life this is my right I'll make it what I want to I'll stay and I'll fight END This song absolutely rocks.
