My Love Of This Land (Early Version)

My Love Of This Land (Early Version) - Killing Joke

The sun is setting in on England's

green and pleasant land

AT dusk I leave the town to

tear the fences down

And I ignore the voice of education

sighing and crying in my head

In the light of every dream

we're all coming home

Lazy days and summer haze

my love of this land

Memories of gentlemen and cricket

fade away in the hot summer

But still they carry out traditions

of the past without a meaning

In the light of every dream, we're

all coming home

Lazy days and summer haze

my love of this land

New towns and concrete towerblocks

inhuman as they stand

And did those feel in ancient

times, or was it just our imaginations

In the light of every dream

we're all coming home

Lazy days and summer haze

my love of this land
