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