Mataura Paper Mill Words are lost on this waterfall If you search out the photograph You will feel the power it held I went over the bridge To bypass Gore I saw a world We just failed to fight for I came down, I couldn't help myself A neighbour drawn to watch the fire But who am I to try to save this town From a toxic ammonia cloud? Mataura Paper Mill Hearts are lost in the detail Some protest, others not at all What greater minds decide to mothball And greater minds will always cross this bridge To give their promise to the council And greater minds always incorporate So that no one can be held So that no one can be held So that no one can be held Responsible Aah-ooh Aah-ooh Aah-ooh ♪ Mataura Paper Mill Filled with dross from the smelter All things flow in their natural course To leave us with the liquidator But I am here I couldn't help myself A neighbour drawn to watch the fire Who were we, left to save this town? From a toxic come on From a toxic come on From a toxic ammonia cloud Come on Come on Come on Come on Come on Come on, come on Come on Come on Come on Come on Come on Come on
