Alive In Studio A (cd 1) [Alive In Studio A]

On…and on 


Born in a mining town in ‘58 
When black and white T.V. was up to date 
And men were still around 
Who fought for freedom, stood their ground and died 
That I could be alive and see 
The damage that we've managed since 
In this sceptred Isle 
Is nothing sacred, just the one square mile 


Justice and liberty 
You can buy, but you don't get free 
In a world of steel and glass 
We bury our past 


On and on, we slept till dawn 
When we awoke, we hardly spoke 


My grandfather taught me how to fight 
Old fashioned stuff like wrong and right 
But all around I see his morals 
Buried in a mess of money troubles 
Born in a mining town in ‘58 
When black and white T.V. was up to date 
And men were still around 
Who fought for freedom, stood their ground and died 


Justice and liberty 
You can buy, but you don't get free 
In a world of steel and glass 
We bury our past 


On and on, we slept till dawn 
On and on and on 


Justice and liberty 
You can buy, but you don't get free 
In a world of steel and glass 
We bury our past 


Justice and liberty 
You can buy, but you don't get free 
In a world of steel and glass 
We bury our past 


On and on, we slept till dawn 
When we awoke, it was... all the same
