ESKIMO JOE
- Foreign Land Lyrics / with translationsSteady my shaky hands
Shut off the world's demands
to get the facts down
Do you understand?
That this is a foreign land
So try to understand that
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
Even when you're all alone
Even when it's not your home
Take a little look around
nothing else hits the ground
Touch my hand
up to the air
Dying in the foreign land
So do you understand that
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
Even when you're all alone
When it's not your home
I smell the blood of an Australian
Try to understand this if you can
if you can
if you can
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
Even when you're all alone
When it's not your home
I smell the blood of an Australian
Shut off the world's demands
to get the facts down
Do you understand?
That this is a foreign land
So try to understand that
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
Even when you're all alone
Even when it's not your home
Take a little look around
nothing else hits the ground
Touch my hand
up to the air
Dying in the foreign land
So do you understand that
Do you understand?
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
Even when you're all alone
When it's not your home
I smell the blood of an Australian
Try to understand this if you can
if you can
if you can
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
Even when you're all alone
When it's not your home
I smell the blood of an Australian

Only the songwriter will ever know what the song was truly written about but thats the beauty of music, you can listen to a song and relate it to something so that it means something personal to you.

I love this song! And if you didn't know that this song was about Heath's death, you would probably love it. I have to agree with Tales; they were singing for a mate and that is really great to see.

You're a knob Kate L, using that rational Elton John and Don McLean can't stand on their own feet cause they have songs about dead people. I suppose movies shouldn't be made about dead people either?

They were already standing on their own two feet. Well and truly Kate L...
How many hits before this and a career enduring how many years. Under The Sea was a top 10 for how many weeks?
Now just enjoy a song in Heaths memory. That's what I do...
