Biografia:

All four had been students at Flinders University and together developed an intensely passionate and outspoken outlook. They are known for their protest song exploring the impact of war in 1983's "I Was Only Nineteen (A Walk in the Light Green)", which peaked at #1 on the National singles charts.

Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
C G
He was a sailor
D Em
Swarthy lean and proud
C G
He could take a schooner through a big sea swell
Am D
Aloof in the mainland crowd
C G
She loved his quiet laughter
D Em
Like a boy he'd shrug and grin
C G
Beach stretched wide at Port Mackay
Am D
With dreams upon the wind
C G D Em
He wore her name in a rose tattoo
C G Am
Long weekends of gins and lime
C G D Em
She lived in Cairns made plans to move
C G Am
Checkout girl part-time
C G D Em
And rumour said there's a boom ahead
C G Am
You can make your future here
Em
By the Gladstone pier
C G
A two roomed five row shelter
D Em
Empty hopes, the damp, the flies
C G
Prices hiked her face grew tight
Am D
And conversation died
C G D Em
And the foreman at the smelter said you're much too old
C G Am
Try the cane fields furthers north
C G D Em
And the clerk at the market said we don't buy trouble
C G Am
There's a strike down at the port
C G D Em
Then a six-day shift in a filthy pit
C G Am
The drag lines gouging coal
C G D Em
The black dust gnaws at your lungs and pores
C G Am
And anger rots your soul
C G D Em
And the queue round the block waits for you to drop
C G Am
Can you take it for another year
Em
By the Gladstone Pier
C G
Every Sunday he'd walk alone
D Em
Casting pebbles at the passing waves
C G
Plunge in brine cleanse his pride
Am D
A stronger man remains
C G
The crunch of shale and distant sails
D Em
Ached within his bones
C G
And ships upon the tide
Am D
Bound for ports unknown
C G
Soon he drank for comfort
D Em
She grew bitter in the weeks between
C G
The nights of beer and hollow cheer
Am D
And love became routine
C G
They fought, she left him crying
D Em
Angry words in a last café
C G
In desperation on a lonely night
Am D
She took the bus to Cairns next day
C G D Em
And Gladstone couples break that way
C G Am
Mutual blame and no regrets
C G D Em
And boomtown blues just fade to grey
C G Am
And all that's left are debts she cried:
C G D Em
"I've got to leave this dirty old town
C G Am
The rattle of broken men
C G D Em
And break these chains and wash the pain
C G Am
And put to sea again
C G D Em
Drained all my passion my anger and my fears
C G Am
And sank them in a flagon
Em
Under Gladstone pier"
C G
She saw him through the Greyhound window
D E
As the dawn glowed on the chrome
C G
Standing by the pier under sullen skies
Am D
Sea winds calling home
C G
From surfers up to Townsville
D Em
Past the high-rise colonies
C G
Fast food, cheap hotels
Am D
Two more boom-town refugees
