Eskimo Joe - Foreign Land Lyrics

Customize:

(*Eskimo Joe, Steve Parkin)
[** Contains elements from "Adiyaman" performed by the Anadolu University Folk Dance Ensemble:]

Steady my shaky hands
Shut out the world's demands
Just get the facts down
Do you understand

This is a foreign land
So try to understand that
Do you understand
Do you understand

If this is what it feels to love
Then I can feel that
If this is what it feels to love
Then I can feel that
If this is what it feels to love
Then I can feel that
If this is what it feels to love
Then I can feel that

Even when you're all alone
Even when it's not your home

Take a little look around
Melting as it hits the ground
I touch my hand
Up to the air

Dying in the foreign land
[ Eskimo Joe Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
So do you understand me
Do you understand
Do you understand

If this is what it feels to love
Then I can feel that
If this is what it feels to love
Then I can feel that
If this is what it feels to love
Then I can feel that
If this is what it feels to love
Then I can feel that

Even when you're all alone
Even when it's not your home

I smell the blood of an australian
Try to understand me if you can
If you can
If you can

If this is what it feels to love
Then I can feel that
If this is what it feels to love
Then I can feel that

You're not alone
Even when it's not your home

I smell the blood of an australian

Such a powerful song, I think they really have tried to encompass gallipoli and heath ledgers death into the song, hence the turkish music, the fact that they were in new york at the time of ledgers death is a big factor aswell. Overall I just love the song, such beautifully written lyrics :)

i smell the blood of an australian represents the media 'sniffing' out heath in his death, wanting to get pictures. they can practically 'smell his blood' being in a foreign land (new york)he was alone and people were disrespectful, when they should've been mourning his death.

I'm thinking WWI at Gallipoli. I smell the blood of an Australian and the turkish music gives it away.
