New Model Army - Green & Grey Lyrics
The time I think most clearlyThe time I drift awayIs on the busride that meandersUp these valleys of green and greyI get to think about what might have beenAnd what may yet come trueAnd I get to pass a rainy mileThinking of youAnd all the while, all the whileI still hear that callTo the land of gold and poisonThat beckons to us allNothing changes here very muchI guess you'd say it never willThe pubs are all full on Friday nightsAnd things get started stillWe spent hours last week with Billy boyBleeding, yeah queueing in consualtyStaring at those posters we used to laugh atNever never land, palm trees by the seaWell there was no need for those guysTo hurt him so badWhen all they had to doWas knock him downBut no one asks to many questions like that anymoreSince you left this townCHORUS:And tomorrow brings another trainAnother young brave steals awayBut you're the one I rememberFrom these valleys of green and the greyYou used to talk about winners and losersAll the time - as if that was all there wasAs if we were not of the same blood familyAs if we live by different lawsDo you owe so much less to theseRain swept hillsThan you owe to your good selfIs it true that the world has always gotTo be something that always seemsTo happen - somewhere elseFor God's sake don't you realiseThat I still hear that callDo you think you're so braveJust to go runningTo that wicked beckons to us allCHORUS:And tomorrow brings another trainAnother young brave ...No, not for one secondDid you look behind youAs you were walking awayNever once did you wish any of us wellThose who had chosen to stayAnd if that's what it takes to make itIn the place that you live todayThen I guess you'll never read theseLetters that I sendFrom the valleys of the green and the grey=======================================================================
