Grace Petrie - Emily Davidson Blues lyrics

[Grace Petrie - Emily Davidson Blues 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 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
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

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

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
