marchtown - findlay napier lyrics
[verse 1]
let’s walk down to marchtown
before it became home
to the soil not yet built on
and the factory gates
to the lands of westfield
while they sit and they wait
for the breakin’ of new ground
[verse 2]
no squalor in marchtown
where the sinners repented
to the station dismantled
through the gate we reclaimed
from the bushes and trees
on which we carved our names
with all limbs entangled
[chorus]
she lost the fight in spitе of crossin’ palms with silver
and neither sistеr nor the bell and fish would save her
in defence of adulterous queens
it’s goodbye to marchtown
[verse 3]
what have they done, marchtown
they’ve crowded and cut you up
pushin’ in the people
’til the sirens ring
hands over their ears
’cause the walls are too thin
and change makes a strange sound
[chorus]
she lost the fight in spite of crossin’ palms with silver
and neither sister nor the bell and fish would save her
in defence of adulterous queens
it’s goodbye to marchtown
[bridge]
but i’m seein’ signs
that i’m losin’ my mind
stuck in marchtown, it’s fine
just not every day
all this green
what a wonderful scene
but why is it that i only see red today
got to get away
[verse 4]
in this pocket of plenty
i’m rescued from roamin’
i have surely lost count
of the houses i’ve known
but this one i count on
’cause this one is home
no more runnin’ on empty
[chorus]
she lost the fight in spite of crossin’ palms with silver
and neither sister nor the bell and fish would save her
in defence of adulterous queens
it’s goodbye to marchtown
it’s goodbye to marchtown
