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