The night has turned your compass into dust You are hanging like a tightrope in the rain And now that London told you all its lies You wonder if there is future in this place But girl if you're tired don't go away We can write England all over again And when they parade with their guns and their blades We can write England all over again They say that stubborn men hold on to their flags When life and faith have ceased to be aligned But what's the use of living in a lie When all you got are spiders in your mind But girl if you're tired don't go away We can write England all over again And when they parade with their guns and their blades We can write England all over again We can write England all over again Take me to a land in Innisfree Where everyone is listening to the band Where faces merge in song and poetry And plenitude is all that we demand
