about

recorded at The Old Queen's Head, London, 20th September 2010

lyrics

THE LAND BEFORE LAST

I wanted to be stallion
Breaking through the woods at dawn
But there’s only a rocking- or hobby-horse
And I was safely in-between sheets.

I wanted to be your bulldog
Obedient at your heel, but then
There’s the barking and the biting
And the whipping and the discipline

I was dreaming then of parents
Deep within a long lost England
I am thinking now that I am with them
Far across a rich green fieldland
Naked in a cool clear river and
Home by fires that burn like Dante
Down to the secret twilight garden
Avoiding the ghosts standing on the stairway

Soon I will want to be one of them
And from the air I’ll appear like smoke
But always when your back is turned
Deep within a long lost England
