Lyrics
5. Famine Road
No matter where I wander, no matter where I roam
It’s good to feel the soil beneath your toes, the green, green, green grass of home
Wherever I may lay my head the grass is soft, my bed is free
And all the words in all the songs come back to where my heart belongs in dreams
Dream on, Englishman
Still I see illiteracy but now I fear the writing on the wall
The words are torn and twisted, some I can’t recall at all
And sticks and stones will break my bones but names they will sometimes hurt too
Scrub the dirt away and swap the hurt today for something new
How do you do?
Digging the turf, making the hay,
Roads must be built, any which way,
Never so tired, never so cold,
Losing the path, walking the famine road.
Stick and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me.
My collar’s worn, my shirt is torn, my heels are down and dirty,
And on my back I’m keeping track of tails and trails of distant galaxies,
The frost, the rhymes, the cold, are slowly seeping through my skin and bones
Deep freeze, smile please.
Sigh to the wind, can’t feel a thing,
Bending my back, cos cotton is king
Never so tired, never so cold,
Losing the path, walking the famine road.
Sigh to the wind, can’t feel a thing,
Bending my back, cos cotton is king
Never so tired, never so cold,
Losing the path, walking the Rooley Moor Road.
Digging the turf, making the hay,
Roads must be built, any which way,
Never so tired, never so cold,
Losing the path, walking the famine road.
