[Verse 1]
Five hundred men sacked for refusing
to ever cross a picket line
The voices down the ages warning
Never cross a picket line!
you must never cross a picket line!
[Verse 2]
Two years gone by but still they never
ever cross a picket line
With their wives and children they stand together
Never cross a picket line!
you must never cross a picket line!
[Chorus]
Look away, look away
look away out west to San Francisco
Look away, look away
look away down south to Sydney Harbour
where the dockers have organised
the world s longest picket line
[Verse 3]
Technically this is an illegal strike
Never cross a picket line!
But technically workers have no rights
Never cross a picket line!
You must never cross a picket line!
[Verse 4]
Oh, I want to live in a brand new Britain
Never cross a picket line!
Where workers rights are enshrined and written
Never cross a picket line!
You must never cross a picket line!
[Chorus]
Look away, look away
Look away out west to San Diego
Look away, look away
Look away out east to far Osaka
where the dockers have organised
the world s longest picket line
[Verse 5]
The Tories are gone but there s no improvement
Never cross a picket line!
Now where is the might of the Labour movement
Never cross a picket line!
You must never cross a picket line!
[Chorus]
Look away, look away,
Look away down south to Auckland City
Look away, look away
Look away out west to old Vancouver
where the dockers have organised
the world s longest picket line
Where the dockers have realised:
You must never cross a picket line!
Five hundred men sacked for refusing
to ever cross a picket line
The voices down the ages warning
Never cross a picket line!
you must never cross a picket line!
[Verse 2]
Two years gone by but still they never
ever cross a picket line
With their wives and children they stand together
Never cross a picket line!
you must never cross a picket line!
[Chorus]
Look away, look away
look away out west to San Francisco
Look away, look away
look away down south to Sydney Harbour
where the dockers have organised
the world s longest picket line
[Verse 3]
Technically this is an illegal strike
Never cross a picket line!
But technically workers have no rights
Never cross a picket line!
You must never cross a picket line!
[Verse 4]
Oh, I want to live in a brand new Britain
Never cross a picket line!
Where workers rights are enshrined and written
Never cross a picket line!
You must never cross a picket line!
[Chorus]
Look away, look away
Look away out west to San Diego
Look away, look away
Look away out east to far Osaka
where the dockers have organised
the world s longest picket line
[Verse 5]
The Tories are gone but there s no improvement
Never cross a picket line!
Now where is the might of the Labour movement
Never cross a picket line!
You must never cross a picket line!
[Chorus]
Look away, look away,
Look away down south to Auckland City
Look away, look away
Look away out west to old Vancouver
where the dockers have organised
the world s longest picket line
Where the dockers have realised:
You must never cross a picket line!
