It’ll eat you In the depths below the calm upon the surface It is lurking, looking hungry And if you let it It’ll beat you In its beady little eyes A look of cold determination Shines like steel You need a safe pair of hands The kind that knows what to hold and what to throw You need a safe pair of hands The kind that knows when to let go And what you don’t know can’t hurt you Till it happens It’ll have you Though your puny little limbs Will thrash the water into foam There ain’t nobody gonna save you Like a safe pair of hands Now that you’re so far from sure You need a safe pair of hands Oh but you’re just clutching at straws And what you don’t know can’t hurt you Till it happens

We all grew up by the ocean We all grew up by the sea Everyone’s moving north for the money Everyone’s moving north like me And it’s low tide in Wellington harbour Everyone’s moving north for the summer Everyone’s moving north to get rich They all talk about the future (It’s bright with light and gold) Must be the season of the witch And it’s low tide in Wellington harbour So give me your hopes Give me your dreams Give me your rent once a week until you’re Give me your hopes Give me your dreams Give me your rent once a week until you’re Give me your hopes Give me your dreams Give me your rent once a week until you’re Give me your hopes Give me your dreams Give me your rent once a week until you’re Dead And we deserve our land Every little bit I built this life by hand And we deserve our land Every little bit I built this life by hand And we deserve our land Every little bit I built this life by hand And we deserve our land Every little bit I built this life by hand I built this
