Kirsty Maccoll - Us Amazonians Lyrics
Here in the country we dance and we playAnd we pray to our saints and we make love all dayI fell in love with a real city boyWhos afraid of his nature, afraid of his joyI punched him out and brought him to this hutBut I know hell thank me when he wakes upWe got trees, we got snakes, we got acres of skyHis life in the city was making him cryCome on, come on darling, be brave for a whileYou dont look afraid when you laugh and you smileIll be good, Ill be strongIll be just what you needed all alongHere in the country we dance and we playAnd we pray to our saints and we make love all dayI fell in love with a real city boyWhos afraid of his nature, afraid of his joyUs amazonians know where we standWe got kids, we got jobs, why do we need a man?Us amazonians make out alrightBut we want something to hold in the forest at nightCome on, come on darling, be brave for a whileYou dont look afraid when you laugh and you smileBreathe in deep, stick with meYoull still be free as you let yourself beIf youre certain, if youre trueIll be the only country girl for youIll be good, Ill be strongIll be just what you needed all alongHere in the country we dance and we playAnd we pray to our saints and we make love all dayI fell in love with a real city boyGotta teach him about nature, and teach him about joyUs amazonians know where we standWe got kids, we got jobs, why do we need a man?Us amazonians make out alrightBut we want something to hold in the forest at nightHeres my boyfriend, hes small, he is blueHe is cold, he is rough, hes appalling thats trueBut hes got the power, hes got the fireTo be just like us is his only desireHell learn to hunt and Ill teach him to fishWell boil up our rice in a satellite dishWell plant cassava wherever we canUs amazonians always get our manUs amazonians know where we standWe got kids, we got jobs, why do we need a man?Us amazonians make out alrightBut we want something to hold in the forest at night
