Track 1 from their second album "Primitive Man" released in 1982 copyright Chrysalis Records. It was recorded at Paradise Studios in Sydney, Australia and Westlake Audio, Eldorado Studios and Musicland West Studios in Los Angeles. It was produced by Iva Davies and Keith Forsey and was originally intended as an Iva Davies solo album. Davies played all the instruments and Forsey contributed additional percussion. In the end, the decision was made to release it as an Icehouse album, although its style was even more synthesizer-based than their debut album had been. The single "Hey Little Girl" became their international breakthrough and reached the Top Twenty in the U.K. and most of Europe. The album wasn't released in the U.K. or the U.S. until the following year when it was renamed "Love in Motion" and included a new song by that name. It reached No. 129 in the U.S., No. 64 in the U.K., No. 59 in Canada, No. 31 in Sweden, No. 3 in Australia and No. 1 in New Zealand. It was certified Platinum in Australia and New Zealand. Written by Iva Davies and produced by Iva Davies & Keith Forsey. Featuring:
Iva Davies - Lead vocals, lead & rhythm guitars, Prophet-5 synthesizer, bass, Linn drum machine, Fairlight CMI & background vocals

Standin' at the limit of an endless ocean
Stranded like a runaway lost at sea
A city on a rainy day down in the harbour
Watchin' as the grey clouds shadow the bay
Lookin' everywhere 'cause I had to find you
This is not the way that I remember it here
Anyone will tell you it's a prisoner island
Hidden in the summer for a million years
(Great southern land)
(Burned you black)
So if you look into the land it will tell you a story
A story about a journey ended long ago
Listen to the motion of the wind in the mountains
Maybe you can hear them talkin' like I do
They're gonna betray you, they're gonna forget you
Are you gonna let them take you over that way?
(Great southern land, great southern land)
(You walk alone like a primitive man)
(And they make it work with sticks and bones)
(See their hungry eyes, it's a hungry home)
(I hear the sound of the stranger's voices)
(See their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes)
(Great southern land, great southern land)
(They burned you black, black against the ground)
Standin' at the limit of an endless ocean
Stranded like a runaway lost at sea
A city on a rainy day down in the harbour
Watchin' as the grey clouds shadow the bay
Lookin' everywhere, I had to find you
This is not the way that I remember it here
Anyone will tell you it's a prisoner island
Hidden in the summer for a million years
(Great southern land in the sleeping sun)
(You walk alone with the ghost of time)
(Well, they burned you black, black against the ground)
(And they make it work with rocks and sand)
(I hear the sound of the stranger's voices)
(See their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes)
(Great southern land, great southern land)
(You walk alone like a primitive man)
(You walk alone with the ghost of time)
(And they burned you black, yeah, they burned you black)
(Great southern land)
(Great southern land)
(Great southern land)
(Great southern land)
(Great southern land)
