show of hands - country life كلمات الأغنية

working in the rain cutting down wood
didn’t do my little brother much good
lost two fingers ina chainsaw bite
all he does now is drink and fight
sells a bit of gr-ss hots up cars
talks of travel never gets far
loves his kids left his wife
an everyday story of country life

and the red brick cottage where i was born
is the empty sh-ll of a holiday home
most of the year there’s no-one there
the village is dead and they don’t care
now we live on the edge of town
haven’t been back since the pub closed down
one man’s family pays the price
for another man’s visio of country life

my old man is eighty four
his generation won the war
he left the farm forever when
they only kept on one in ten
landed gentry county sn-bs
where were you when they lost their jobs
no-one marched or subsidised
to save a country way of life

silent fields empty lanes
drifting smoke distant flames
picture postcard hills on fire
cattle burning in funeral pyres
out to graze they look so sweet
we hate the blood we want the meat
buy me a beer i’ll take my knife
cut you a slice of country life

if you want cheap food well here’s the deal
family farms are brought to heel
hammer blows of size and scale
foot and mouth the final nail
the coffin of our english dream
lies out on the village green
while agri-barons cap in hand
strip this green and pleasant land
of meadow, woodland, hedgerow, pond
what remains gets built upon

no trains, jobs
no shops, no pubs

what went wrong
country life
it’s a little bit of country life

- show of hands
