about

Indigenous rights and the way that some anglo Australians deny the real history of this land. Always was Always will be Aboriginal Land

lyrics

I heard it said, don’t go outside ‘cause it’s dark.
There’s a cruel wind blowing and this land is lonely
It’s empty and it’s stark

Walk this land x 2

Ghost gums run with blood, their trunks are painted red
On this land first peoples hunted ‘til their dead.

Walk this land x 2

In this place I’m alone, stars and moon out there
I can’t help but imagine, the hell it was down here


I will not shut my mouth, when I hear these stories
I will not shut my mouth. I don’t celebrate the glory
Watch it all denied, our history
While another man hides, our history

While another media lies, our history
While another story fails, our history

Steal the land and take the land, breaking all those laws
Sacred sites, a sacred world, they will take it all

Families of the past, haunt then night and day
Frontier wars left bodies, rotting in decay
Belzebub, Lucifer, devil of despair
When the white man shot the black man, without a single care

Em C Em C
I heard it said, don’t go outside ‘cause it’s dark.
There’s a cruel wind blowing and this land is lonely
It’s empty and it’s stark
Walk this land x 2
Ghost gums run with blood, their trunks are painted red
On this land first peoples hunted ‘til their dead.
Walk this land x 2
In this place I’m alone, stars and moon out there
I can’t help but imagine, the hell it was down here
Chorus Em C D Em C D
I will not shut my mouth, when I hear these stories
I will not shut my mouth. I don’t celebrate the glory
Watch it all denied, our history
While another man hides, our history
Em Am
While another media lies, our history
While another story fails, our history Riff x 4

Steal the land and take the land, breaking all those laws
Sacred sites, a sacred world, they will take it all
Walk this land x 2
Em Cowboy chord
Families of the past, haunt then night and day
Frontier wars left bodies, rotting in decay
Belzebub, Lucifer, devil of despair
When the white man shot the black man, without a single care

Chorus Walk this land

DAVE HOUSTON image

DAVE HOUSTON Melbourne, Australia

Renowned theatrical impresario Dave Houston has released two solo albums, and an EP and a bunch of band albums.

FRONTIER is ______

Houston's music is mellowed, rocky & psyche-folk treatment of themes dear to his heart. It swerves like an old Holden across the desert, careering from the angst of the traveling songwriter to the troubles of our dear heaving continent. ... more
