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