Roots

Chillout Moods [Box Set]专辑

  • 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...
