Poster Girl Songtext

And before you turn your back on me I'll sing you one more song



Cause I shook hands with a digger

On the wrong side of the world

With a wife at home who holds her breath

And brand new baby girl

And the digger fights for freedom in a job that must be done

And I let go of his hand, so proud to be Australian



And if unlike me you feel no pride at all
Then go ahead and take me off your wall

Cause I'd prefer to be a poster girl

On the wrong side of the world



And I'm just the girl that sings the crazy songs

Not qualified to sit and judge

I've been right and I know I've been wrong

But I'm for peace and I'm for love

And I admire the burning fire that causes you to fight

I only wish the wrong side of the world had the same right



Cause I listened to the wisdom of the Aussie brigadier

He spoke of widows and of orphans and the need to dry their tears

And he leads the fight for freedom in a job that must be done

And I've never been more proud to say that I'm Australian



And if unlike me you feel no pride at all

Then go ahead and take me off your wall

Cause I'd prefer to be a poster girl

On the wrong side of the world



Maybe I'm naïve to think we all could get along

And sir, I read your words

And all I ask is hear my song



I shook hands with a digger

On the wrong side of the world

With a wife at home who holds her breath

And brand new baby girl

And the digger fights for freedom in a job that must be done

And I let go of his hand, so proud to be Australian



And if unlike me you feel no pride at all

Then go ahead and take me off your wall

Cause I'd prefer to be a poster girl

On the wrong side of the world



I'm so proud to be a poster girl

On the wrong side of the world
