Landfall Lyrics & Tabs by Big Big Train
Landfall
guitar chords lyrics
“People don’t understand,”
that is what you say to yourselves
as you nibble away
at our rights, our freedoms,
spending far too long in the dark
all alone
with your mandate for power,
for ruling, such as it is.
It’s enough for ruin.
All we have is unreal.
Nothing so unwritten is safe
insecurity and power
is a force to be feared.
Seems it’s an impossible thing
to be open
is a force to be feared.
Seems it’s an impossible thing
to be open
and cover your backs
from those who put you there
in the place that is your home.
To scorn our deepest fears
and take it on themselves
to take it all and do it in our names.
This land is so afraid.
For in the fading light
this land, in time may fall.
Plant some reality here.
here into the front of my home
if they take you apart
have to fight for yourselves.
Funny how it’s always the same
it don’t matter who’s holding
the key to the garden.
The limit of my understanding is reached.
Ten years on from the day they broke down the line,
red man Arthur was proved right all along.
Loose your big train of thought
take it to a wall with some writing:
“question authority”
and then it says “why?”
What we have to say to ourselves
as we marvel at all of the facts
and the figures at the fingertips
of the men in power.
