(Verse 1 [James Reyne])
Way out west where the rain don't fall
Got a job with the company
Drilling for oil
Make some change
Living and a'working on the land
(Verse 2 [Ella Hooper])
The Work is hard
But the pay is good
And I'd take me a rest if I only could
'Cause it's hot out here
Living and a'working on the land
Chorus (Both)
What a change (what a change) it's been
From working that nine to five
How strange (how strange) it's been
At last I get the feeling that I'm really alive
(Verse 3 [Ella])
They give you a house made of fibro cеment
You don't need no money
'Cause you don't pay no rеnt
And it's Oh so cheap
Living and a'working on the land
(Post Chorus [Both])
La la La la La la
La la La la la La la La la
La la La la la La la La la la
Living and a'working on the land
La la La la la La la La la
La la La la la La la La la la
Living and a'working on the land
Verse 4 [James]
Nothin' much to do on a Saturday night
But get into some booze
Or maybe a fight
'Cause it's tough out here
Living and a'working on the land
(Chorus [Both])
What a change (what a change) it's been
From working that nine to five
How strange (how strange) it's been
At last I get the feeling that I'm really alive
Way out west where the rain don't fall
Got a job with a company drilling for oil
And I'm never gonna leave
Living and a'working on the land
(Post chorus x4 [Both])
La la La la la La la La la
La la La la la La la La la la
Living and a'working on the land
