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