New Model Army - Green And Grey

  • 0:24 - 0:29
    The time I think most clearly
  • 0:29 - 0:33
    The time I drift away
  • 0:33 - 0:37
    Is on the bus ride that meanders
  • 0:37 - 0:42
    Up these valleys of green and grey
  • 0:42 - 0:46
    I get to think about what might have been
  • 0:46 - 0:50
    And what may yet come true
  • 0:50 - 0:56
    And I get to pass a rainy mile
  • 0:56 - 1:00
    Thinking of you
  • 1:00 - 1:04
    And all the while, all the while
  • 1:04 - 1:08
    I still hear that call
  • 1:08 - 1:13
    To the land of gold and poison
  • 1:13 - 1:18
    That beckons to us all
  • 1:18 - 1:22
    Nothing changes here very much
  • 1:22 - 1:26
    You used to say it never will
  • 1:26 - 1:31
    The pubs are all full on Friday nights
  • 1:31 - 1:35
    And things get started still
  • 1:35 - 1:38
    We spent hours last week with Billy boy
  • 1:38 - 1:44
    Bleeding, yeah queueing in casualty
  • 1:44 - 1:47
    Staring at those posters we used to laugh at
  • 1:47 - 1:52
    Never never land, palm trees by the sea
  • 1:52 - 1:55
    Well there was no need for those guys
  • 1:55 - 1:57
    To hurt him so bad
  • 1:57 - 1:58
    When all they had to do
  • 1:58 - 2:01
    Was knock him down
  • 2:01 - 2:06
    But no one asks too many questions like that anymore
  • 2:06 - 2:10
    Since you left this town
  • 2:10 - 2:14
    And tomorrow brings another train
  • 2:14 - 2:19
    Another young brave steals away
  • 2:19 - 2:23
    But you're the one I remember
  • 2:23 - 2:31
    From these valleys of the green and the grey
  • 2:33 - 2:36
    You used to talk about winners and losers
  • 2:36 - 2:42
    All the time - as if that was all there was
  • 2:42 - 2:46
    As if we were not of the same blood family
  • 2:46 - 2:51
    As if we live by different laws
  • 2:51 - 2:53
    Do you owe so much less to these
  • 2:53 - 2:55
    Rain swept hills
  • 2:55 - 2:59
    Than you owe to your good self
  • 2:59 - 3:01
    Is it true that the world has always got
  • 3:01 - 3:03
    To be something that always seems
  • 3:03 - 3:08
    To happen - somewhere else
  • 3:08 - 3:12
    For God's sake don't you realise
  • 3:12 - 3:17
    That I still hear that call
  • 3:17 - 3:19
    Do you think you're so brave
  • 3:19 - 3:21
    Just to go running
  • 3:21 - 3:26
    To that which beckons to us all
  • 3:26 - 3:30
    And tomorrow brings another train
  • 3:30 - 3:34
    Another young brave steals away
  • 3:34 - 3:39
    But you're the one I remember
  • 3:39 - 3:44
    From these valleys of the green and the grey
  • 4:02 - 4:08
    No, not for one second
  • 4:08 - 4:10
    Did you look behind you
  • 4:10 - 4:14
    As you were walking away
  • 4:14 - 4:19
    Never once did you wish any of us well
  • 4:19 - 4:23
    For those who had chosen to stay
  • 4:23 - 4:27
    And if that's what it takes to make it
  • 4:27 - 4:32
    In the place that you live today
  • 4:32 - 4:34
    Then I guess you'll never read these
  • 4:34 - 4:36
    Letters that I send
  • 4:36 - 4:41
    From the valleys of the green and the grey
  • 4:44 - 4:51
    Valleys of green and the grey
