Concrete Fields Lyrics - Artist : Manic Street Preachers
My old school that's closed its doors
The once green fields are now concrete floors And the roads are choking full of misery and fear But my vision's getting clearer and my mind it feels so free And the work is hard and the wages are low But the smile's still here and the river's still flowing All I can do is sit you here and moan But my heart still bleeds For this place that I call home My boyhood made of dreams of love The happiest of times sitting with my mum and dad But the bridges, the houses now dominate The [?] and the super schools The breeding grounds of hate But those once green fields, still live in my mind They seem so perfect, so simple and so kind Just me and my brother, we're kicking a ball The world so close and so beautiful And I got no answers, I place no blame I just feel a longing and I wanna hear your name As I walk and run through these once green fields It's easier to see what has disappeared And the air is getting heavy with memory and loss The joy and the freedom, but freedom at what cost And the air is getting heavy, the memory and loss The joy and the freedom, but freedom at what cost Is this your inheritance, is this all that's left The mountains we climbed are now mountains of debt And the air is getting heavy with memory and loss The joy and the freedom, but freedom at what cost We had joy and we had fun We had seasons in the sun Yeah we had joy and we had fun We had some seasons in the sun And we had joy and we had fun We had some seasons in the sun Yeah we had joy and we had fun We had some seasons in the sun |
