Northern Territory Song

‘Northern Territory Song’ Article By Peter Barnes.
 
I have authored and recorded 3 Northern Territory songs.
 
Lived and worked in the NT in the 80s, running the biggest advertising agency in Darwin and had clients with my own advertising and marketing consultancy in the 90s.
 
Here is one of the NT songs recorded in 1997, titled ‘It’s A Great Place’.
 
Lyrics of the song…
 

I know a great place
A place from the past
I know a great place
A place for the future
One thing I know
It’s my place

It’s so wonderful
It’s a great place
The Territory
It’s so wonderful
It’s a great place
The Territory

Yeah, we’ve seen many things
As time quickly rushes by
We’ve given it all we’ve got
We’ve gone from strength to strength
We’ve built a great place
We’ve built our home
A place to call our own

It’s so wonderful
It’s a great place
The Territory
It’s so wonderful
It’s a great place
The Territory

It doesn’t matter where you go
It’s so wonderful
It doesn’t matter who you are
We’re all together
Just look around and you will see
It’s a great place

It’s so wonderful
It’s a great place
The Territory
It’s so wonderful
It’s a great place
The Territory

It’s so wonderful
It’s a great place
For you and for me
The Territory
It’s so wonderful
It’s a great place
I know you can see
The Territory
It’s so wonderful
It’s a great place
I know you feel the same

The Territory
It’s so wonderful
It’s a great place
The Territory
The Territory
It’s so wonderful
It’s so wonderful
The Territory
