lyrics

CHORUS:
This is my country, this is my life,
These are my children, that is my wife
I offer you friendship, here is my hand
Take it or leave it I don't understand
why you just can't be happy you only want more
This is my homeland, My Fatal Shore

"Can I get more coffee" was the last free thing I said
The sun on the sails like weight on a scales turned everything dangerously red
I imagined my life if I'd only passed by, I was late but I lingered instead
I opened the door and sat down like before a thousand times in my head
You were there waiting for your perfect crime
Well rehearsed, I am certain ‘cause you took your time
But all I could think of was the train that I missed, the time that I took my first lover’s kiss
Anything that would cancel what you had in store
To take me away from My Fatal Shore

REPEAT CHORUS

The clock on the wall, the people who stalled, the moment I'd fall, how you savoured it all
I remember a car that I saw broken and stripped, thinking of it made me loosen my grip
And all I remember is your wailing call. I had to do something but nothing at all
The music was playing a song that I knew, I started to sing, I sang it to you
This seemed to confuse you, you started to laugh, you drew back your shirtsleeves and removed you scarf
And somewhere at dusk in a faraway land, children were playing and clasping their hands,
It all feels so peaceful, the lightning it screams, the next thing that happened it seemed like a dream

You were calm, you seemed happy, you called someone's name,
You stared at the darkness and nobody came
A shot rang out as it entered your brain and everything seemed to be normal again
I thought of your heaven and smiled to above
You can scream all you want but you'll never find love.

TASTE Melbourne, Australia

At last, relive the incredible lost story of 70s rock. Songs from Tickle Your Fancy and Knights of Love, two classic albums that cut a glam rock swathe through the 70s. These four boys were young and when their parents broken down their manager's door, all hell broke loose. It was 1977 and TASTE was over. After two top 20 albums and four top ten singles . Really. You can't make this stuff up. ... more
