Billy Bragg - Upfield Lyrics
Im going upfield, way up on the hillsideIm going higher than Ive ever been beforeThats where youll find me, over the horizonWading in the river, reaching for that other shoreI dreamed I saw a tree full of angels, up on primrose hillAnd I flew with them over the great wen till I had seen my fillOf such poverty and misery sure to tear my soul apartIve got a socialism of the heart, Ive got a socialism of the heartIm going upfield, way up on the hillsideIm going higher than Ive ever been beforeThats where youll find me, over the horizonWading in the river, reaching for that other shoreThe angels asked me how I felt about all Id seen and heardThat they spoke to me, a pagan, gave me cause to doubt their wordBut they laughed and said: I doesnt matter if youll help us in our artYouve got a socialism of the heart, youve got a socialism of the heartIm going upfield, way up on the hillsideIm going higher than Ive ever been beforeThats where youll find me, over the horizonWading in the river, reaching for that other shoreTheir faces shone and they were gone and I was left aloneI walked these ancient empire streets till I came tearful to my homeAnd when I woke next morning, I vowed to play my partIve got a socialism of the heart, Ive got a socialism of the heartIm going upfield, way up on the hillsideIm going higher than Ive ever been beforeThats where youll find me, over the horizonWading in the river, reaching for that other shore
