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