Roots - song lyrics

Now it's been 25 years or more
I've roamed this land from shore to shore
From Tyne to Tamar, Severn to Thames
From moor to vale, from peak to fen

Played in cafes, pubs and bars
I've stood in the street with my old guitar
But I'd be richer than all the rest
If I had a pound for each request

For 'Duelling Banjos', 'American Pie'
It's enough to make you cry
'Rule Britannia', or 'Swing low...'
Are they the only songs we English know?

Seed, bark, flower, fruit
They're never gonna grow without their roots
Branch, stem, shoot
They need roots

After the speeches, when the cake's been cut
The disco's over and the bar is shut
At christening, birthday, wedding or wake
What can we sing 'til the morning breaks

When the Indians, Asians, Afro-Celts
It's in their blood, below their belt
They're playing and dancing all night long
So what have they got right that we've got wrong?

Seed, bark, flower, fruit
They're never gonna grow without their roots
Branch, stem, shoot
They need roots and

Haul away boys, let them go
Out in the wind and the rain and snow
We've lost more than we'll ever know
'Round the rocky shores of England
We need roots

And a minister said his vision of hell
Is three folk singers in a pub near Wells
Well, I've got a vision of urban sprawl
There's pubs where no-one ever sings at all

And everyone stares at a great big screen
Overpaid soccer stars, prancing teens
Australian soap, American rap
Estuary English, baseball caps

And we learn to be ashamed before we walk
Of the way we look, and the way we talk
Without our stories or our songs

How will we know where we come from?
I've lost St. George in the Union Jack
It's my flag too and I want it back

Seed, bark, flower, fruit
Never gonna grow without their roots
Branch, stem, shoot
We need roots

Haul away boys, let them go
Out in the wind and the rain and snow
We've lost more than we'll ever know
'Round the rocky shores of England
We need roots...

I'm still running 33's up underneath this truck Even though rush hour concrete is the only place I'm getting stuck Ain't on the farm no more but on a stretch of sunny days I still catch myself looking up at the sky Praying for a little rain No I can't outrun these roots Even if I wanted to Cause they run too strong, run too deep Cutting right through the heart of me No it don't matter where I plant these boots Can't outrun these roots I can't outrun these roots There's still that back-home part of me, that can't help but see things a little different Like how there ain't no need to put a 'G' on the end of huntin' or fishin' And I still got granddaddy's bible, his old rifle and his name But I also got his pour a little more Coarsin' through my veins No I can't outrun these roots Even if I wanted to Cause they run too strong, run too deep Cutting right through the heart of me No it don't matter where I plant these boots I can't outrun these roots Thank God I can't They're tangled up in every part of who I am Without 'em I know I don't stand a chance I can't outrun these roots I can't outrun these roots Cause they run too strong, run too deep Cutting right through the heart of me No it don't matter where I plant these boots Can't outrun these roots I can't outrun these roots

Life is a carousel Dancing 'round the mirrors we go up and down So let the music take away the hurt you've come to know so well Let it go cause... You can't turn back the hands of time Just let it go and you'll be fine What's done is done and its alright You cant turn back the hands of time Another day is gone Washed away with sorrows that you dwelled upon And as the moon is rising, you think to yourself I could be gone, if I go now You can't turn back the hands of time Just let it go and you'll be fine (woah) What's done is done and its alright You cant turn back the hands of time Naaaa na na na Na na na na Na na na naaa. Naaaa na na na Na na na na Na na na naaa. You can't turn back the hands of time Just let it go and you'll be fine (yeah) What's done is done and its alright You can't turn back the hands of time (na na na na na) You can't turn back the hands of time Just let it go and you'll be fine (yeah) What's done is done and its alright You can't turn back the hands of time

Circle of hands, cold spirits' plan, Searching my land for an enemy. Came across love's sweet cost And in the face of beauty evil was lost. Sky full of eyes. Minds full of lies. Black from their cold hearts down to their graves. Murder the dawn. Spreading their scorn. Cursing the sun of which love was born. We must keep them away or pretty soon we'll pay And count the cost in sorrow. Sacrifice, the future has its price And today is only yesterday's tomorrow. We must keep them away or pretty soon we'll pay And count the cost in sorrow. Sacrifice, the future has its price And today is only yesterday's tomorrow - tomorrow. Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow
