Correction Lyrics Emily Davidson Blues by Grace Petrie

Back

Lyrics

Stop the clocks and open up your ears and drown out one flat string
Because there's more than one voice here and, baby, we've come to say something
We've come to break down the walls, we've come to burn down the halls of history
We've come to set fire to this land and demand accountability

So stop the clocks and open up your ears and hear our voices sing
In every street across this land let the sound of revolution ring
We've come to take back what's ours, we've come to make the powers justify
The selling of our future by a man who stole our votes with a lie

So we marched over the mountains, we marched over the Thames
When you said you couldn't hear us we sang louder and then
When all the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put this country back together again
When no one's listening, only violence makes the news
I've got the Emily Davidson blues
So stop the clocks and open up your ears and hear our voices sing
Because there's more than one voice here and, baby, we've come to say something
We've come to say something
We've come to say something
We've come to say something

When no one's listening, only violence makes the news
It's not an option that we'd ever gladly choose
But it seems whichever way I vote, I always lose
And there's no victim, no minority whose
Hopes you won't stand on, won't abandon, won't abuse
When only millionaires and Tories write the news
I've got the Emily Davidson blues
