Capo 1
[Intro]
                              x2
Father mows the lawn and Mother peels potatoes     
Grandma lays the table alone
And adjusts a photograph of the unknown soldier     
In this Holy of Holies the Home
And from the TV an unwatched voice
Suggests the answer is to plant more trees     
The scrawl on the wall says what about the workers
And the voice of the people says more salt please
Mother shakes her head and reads aloud from the newspaper     
And Father puts another lock on the door
And reflects upon the violent times that we are living in      
While chatting to the wife beater next door
If paradise to you is cheap beer and overtime
Home truths are easily missed     
Something that every football fan knows
It only takes five fingers to form a fist  
And when it rains here it rains so hard     
But never hard enough to wash away the sorrow
I'll trade my love today for a greater love tomorrow
The lonely child looks out and dreams of independence
From this family life sentence     
Mother sees but does not read the peeling posters     
And can't believe that there's a world to be won
But in the public schools and in the public houses     
The Battle of Britain goes on
The constant promise of jam tomorrow
Is the New Breeds litany and verse     
If it takes another war to fill the churches of England
Then the world the meek inherit what will it be worth
Mother fights the tears and father his sense of outrage     
And attempts to justify the sacrifice
To pass their creed down to another generation     
Anything for the quite life
In the Land of a Thousand Doses
Where nostalgia is the opium of the age    
Our place in history is as clock watchers
Old timers window shoppers
[Outro]
                              x4
Fade into Blake's Jerusalem...
