lyrics

Here the grass is green,
Can see it through the glass,
The pane is cracked and the wind is whistling.
The river’s running,
The water is through the mill,
The wheels of steel, they keep on turning faster.

The cold is in the air,
The damp is in the walls,
the stench of death really won’t be long now.
What are we to do?
We can’t go on like this.
This ain’t no life that we are living.

Hey Mr Architect,
build a world for us,
we can see the towers on the horizon.
The dream it won’t be real,
’til there’s a modern life for all,
come lift our homes and our hearts as you promised.

The people in the towns,
are starting out again,
reaching for the sky like no tomorrow.
The folk in the fields,
are downing tools for good,
no more to hear sweet angelus ring out around.

The factories filling up,
Churning out the goods,
the machines are making light work of our labours
Tomorrow we’ll be free,
or so the wise man says,
liberation for the nation is all or nothing.

Hey Mr Architect,
build a world for us,
we can see the towers on the horizon.
The dream it won’t be real,
’til there’s a modern life for all,
come lift our homes and our hearts as you promised.
