Won't you come on down the line

   D        E       A

Away from barren ground

      A     D       A    fis

The harlot and the autocrat

Are they driving you further down

E              fis       h        fis

The season's rhymes, they anchor me

Take you to the last wild place

A caveman could a saint become

       D        E           A

In a hospital ward on the Somme

E        fis       h        fis

We can dive into distant amoebas

Our wings could melt in the sun

Here they come there they go

A          D      A      fis

Oh great god of development

        D       E      A

Don't really know you yet

A           D          A         fis

Coastline hosed down washed away

Economics, now there's nothing left

E            fis       h           fis

Tomorrow's child takes concrete footsteps

And they'll drink champagne or be damned

And the storm is breaking now

           D         A          E
