I want to walk through litter on a dirty windswept street
And feel the vague uncertainty whenever strangers greet
Want to challenge every value - question what is true
Most of all I want to do all these things with you
I want to hear announcements telling why the trains are late
I want fresh organic vegetables on every mealtime plate
Want to scream at Julie Burchill for writing about herself
Most of all I want it to be you took the paper from the shelf
And the grass was green, the mountains high
We wanted the earth but it cost the sky
There's no going back but how can we stay?
When we're searching for heaven, there's hell to pay
Want to teach our daughter cricket and our boy to tackle low
I want to live in tiny terraces, squashed up in a row
Want to play fantastic music - be part of a great scene
Tell you in the morning how wonderful it's been
And the grass was green, the mountains high
We wanted the earth but it cost the sky
There's no going back but how can we stay?
When we're searching for heaven, there's hell to pay
While it's good to move on and see the wood for the trees
To find my home took so very long - can I go hoe now please?
And the grass was green, the mountains high
We wanted the earth but it cost the sky
There's no going back but how can we stay?
When we're searching for heaven, there's hell to pay
I want to walk through litter on a dirty windswept street
And feel the vague uncertainty whenever strangers greet
Want to challenge every value - question what is true
Most of all I want to do all these things with you
