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