Toyah - Vale Of Evesham lyrics

rate me

(willcox)<br />

I can feel summer at last from the heat<br />

In the red-brick city<br />

The evening light pulls a veil of linen<br />

Over the night time<br />

Life's a gas<br />

Will I walk there again.<br />

In the sleeping Vale of Evesham<br />

Lies a shady town in market garden land<br />

The abbey, demonic and provoking<br />

I have laid across it's stones<br />

The back street pub where Bowie sang<br />

"Is there life on Mars"<br />

While the boys in the back room<br />

Pumped heroin into their veins<br />

The girls, my friends determined<br />

Not to succeed<br />

Pregnant by unknown fathers by fourteen<br />

Mocked me my ambition<br />

The tramp we thought we killed<br />

Had us running scared<br />

Deeper into night<br />

>From fight to fight<br />

The transport cafe from which<br />

We'd steal our golden dreams<br />

So few survived and<br />

Those who have,<br />

Have disappeared just flowers on their graves<br />

Born with broken hearts yes,<br />

Thank you world for my crucufied icons<br />

Lovers of the impossible dream<br />

T.V.'s suicides, mass sacrifice<br />

We're just buzzing in the hive<br />

Born with broken hearts.
