[Verse 1]
From the Western Isles
To the Tasman Sea
There's a world of men
And machinery

[Chorus]
But the birds still sing And the sun shines free
No I don't need much
When I still have thee

[Verse 2]
Well the Rolling Stones
Wrote a song for me
It's a minor song
In a major key

[Chorus]
But the stars still shine
The museum's free
No I don't need much
When I still have thee

[Verse 3]
It's a modern hymn
For the you and me
For the Go-Betweens And the red army
[Chorus]
Long as I still breathe
And the air's still free
No I don't need much
When I still have thee

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
But the birds still sing
And the sunshine's free
No I don't need much
When I still have thee

[Outro]
For the Rolling Stones
And the Red Army
No I don't need much
When I still have thee
