Port Songtext
von Cash Savage and The Last Drinks

Run, run
Someone tell the town that their shame and their pride
Their one and only jewel has been set alight
Someone tell them that their future is lost

Let′s all stand around as the heat breaks the glass
No talk of new beginnings
In the beginning, they built their houses on the sand
Houses made of mud and tin
They put their fences 'round to keep their beasts in


Stupid white men with their stupid plans
Building mud and tin hands on shifting sands
But goldfields need mines and miners
And the gold, it′s gotta leave
So send them big ships through here

Every house on the market, every house for sale
And if no-one can find work here, then no-one gets to stay
And we fished and fished and fished and fished and fished
Now the fish are gone
And the ships are gone
Now we are gone
We are gone
We are gone

And every day, the sea, it swells with pride
It's watched this little town get pushed to the side
It knows everything, it sees everything
The sea is everything
