The Masters Apprentices

The Masters Apprentices (or The Masters to fans) were an Australian rock band fronted by mainstay Jim Keays on lead vocals, which formed in 1965 in Adelaide, South Australia, relocated to Melbourne in February 1967 and attempted to break into the United Kingdom market from 1970, before disbanding in 1972. Their popular Australian singles are "Undecided", "Living in a Child's Dream", "5:10 Man", "Think About Tomorrow Today", "Turn Up Your Radio" and "Because I Love You". The band launched the career of bass guitarist, Glenn Wheatley, later a music industry entrepreneur and an artist manager for both Little River Band and John Farnham. The band reformed periodically, including in 1987–1988 and again subsequently; they were inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Hall of Fame in 1998 alongside The Angels. Both Keays, with His Master's Voice and Wheatley, with Paper Paradise, wrote memoirs in 1999 which included their experiences with the band.

SOUTHERN CROSS

One man carried water to the masses, yes he did
Meanwhile his music carried magic to the ear
A virgin carried by the north wind in the spring
Hope of the words he wrote that summer 
could bring a tear

In the first month came the third one from the sun
to lend a guiding hand so all could be as one
The scorpion wished only to be heard at his best
The world is waiting for us to create and face the test

The southern cross was kind and one morning sent us off
Sailing to the future have we learned or have we lost
Is it our direction; is it written in the sky
People gathered round us; as you listen, we will try
