slightly south of the border - mekons lyrics

[verse 1]
so it’s time we moved on
this geography has been so hard
over mountains and out through the plains
of this blighted land

[verse 2]
we live in an old town
and our friends and acquaintances
tell us those stories
that make us feel fine
[chorus]
it gets dark when the sun goes down
and it’s cold underfoot
the electric comes up through the ground
it’s paid for with words and tended with love

[verse 3]
shopping is easy and much can be bought
with some money you get from somewhere
but who makes the sundays like stone
and decidеs where the nеw roads will go

[verse 4]
slow, the road bends at will
plough through from crazy to sane
no education prepares you for this
you are born and you die

[chorus]
we go marching, coughing and croaking
so the smog cannot heal up our eyes
great blank walls and dense pr*ckly hedges
paid for with words and tended with love

[verse 5]
small stupid children bring paper to life
and up on the damp walls there are patterns like fish
there’s a time for arriving in old times like these
and a time to be moving on…
[chorus]
so you see we should be glad
just waiting with huge empty heads
draw a map and tear it in half
it’s paid for in words and tended with love

[verse 6]
the land stretches out
you can feel with your hands and under your feet

[chorus]
run your fingers through valleys and streams
snapping fences and warm pools of blood
that’s the history of all our dreams
paid for with words and tended with love

[outro]
and tended with love
and tended with love
and tended with love
