Ghosts of the Village (懒散的快乐男孩) - John Jones[00:00:00]
Written by:John Jones[00:00:01]
The hidden village sleeps well tonight[00:00:26]
Caught in the peace of an imagined eye[00:00:29]
That never blinks as prices rise[00:00:32]
And rise and rise and rise and rise[00:00:35]
Beneath these walls men bend in line[00:00:39]
Children stare through tired eyes[00:00:42]
And carry out all the things we need[00:00:45]
The lead the copper the limestone scree[00:00:48]
To carry on this English dream[00:00:52]
But maybe the time is coming when[00:00:54]
Maybe the time is coming when[00:00:58]
The ghosts of the village will rise will rise again[00:01:01]
Maybe the time is coming when[00:01:08]
Maybe the time is coming when[00:01:11]
The ghosts of the village will rise will rise again[00:01:14]
All is meant as it's meant to be[00:01:24]
Safely gathered in the key of G[00:01:27]
And beech trees tumble in autumn gales[00:01:30]
All neatly stacked and in their place[00:01:33]
Council houses tired and worn[00:01:37]
It's hard to live in the place you were born[00:01:40]
And voices raised in muffled pain[00:01:43]
But above the ground no one ever complains[00:01:46]
But maybe the time is coming when[00:01:53]
Maybe the time is coming when[00:01:56]
The ghosts of the village will rise will rise again[00:01:59]
Maybe the time is coming when[00:02:06]
Maybe the time is coming when[00:02:09]
The ghosts of the village will rise will rise again[00:02:12]
And the walls will breathe and the dust will clear[00:02:41]
The museum will shake into life again[00:02:51]
And the pub and the church they will singing as one[00:02:59]
Singing as one[00:03:04]
And a child[00:03:07]
Will dance down the road dance down the road[00:03:09]
Dance down the road dance down the road[00:03:12]
Dance down the road dance down the road[00:03:16]
Dance down the road again[00:03:19]
A man from the city has bought these hills[00:03:27]
Where we played as kids and wander still[00:03:30]
And locked in time his rural dream[00:03:33]
Locked out life and a chance to breathe[00:03:37]
But maybe the time is coming when[00:03:40]
The fields and streets will come alive again[00:03:43]
And the village is where you work and play[00:03:46]
Not build your dream and hide away[00:03:49]
And maybe the time is coming when[00:03:56]
Maybe the time is coming when[00:03:59]
The ghosts of the village will rise will rise again[00:04:03]
And maybe the time is coming when[00:04:09]
Maybe the time is coming when[00:04:12]
The ghosts of the village will rise will rise again[00:04:16]
Maybe the time is coming when[00:04:22]
Maybe the time is coming when[00:04:25]
The ghosts of the village will rise will rise again[00:04:28]
Maybe the time is coming when[00:04:35]
Maybe the time is coming when[00:04:38]
The ghosts of the village will rise will rise again[00:04:42]
