Faith Healer 02:21
I won't need to put my faith in prayer When I fall down I know that you'll be there From the cradle's rock to the graveyard's farewell We are all Jock Tamson's bairns in Bevan's care Tell me stories of '46 When a giant fell in a hail of bricks And the sweat of man was a nation's call Not to arms, but to wage a war on the state of it all Men with millions and hearts as dark As the skin they fear and the cars they park Cannot speak for me or the folk I now Cannot sell what's ours, taint the soil in which we grow Apathy's our only foe So saddle up and here we go Let's have the courage of those old convictions And, if so...

We will dance with searchlights as the sirens sing us home Is there somewhere we can go? As we hold our hands up to the fallout orange glow Is there somewhere we can go? Where the sun is a light that flickers on a concrete sky And we'll hide Find our next salvation in crusades of sticks and stones Is there somewhere we can go? As we build our churches out of hate and broken bones Is there somewhere we can go? Clocks will strike a new midnight You and I will hide beneath beliefs that we call right
