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