lyrics

Another England

Last night I dreamt of another England
Shelley called to me from his mighty grave
He showed me a vision of another England
Where no more we are to history slaves.

Last night I dreamt of another England
Cromwell called to me from his bloody stave
He showed me a dream of another England
A land fit for heroes & the lives they gave.

Chorus
Come the day & come the hour when the ravens leave the tower
And there will be an end to kings
Come the day & come the hour when the ravens leave the tower
And there will be an end to kings.

Last night I dreamt of another England
John Ball spoke to me from his holy grave:
‘You can make an Eden out of an England
Where the only king is god and the lord he saves.

Last night I dreamt of another England
Tom Paine called from his forgotten grave
He showed me the hope of a righteous England
Where a crown no more can rule these waves.

Chorus

(Instrumental)

Chorus

Last night I dreamt of another England
Shelley called to me from his mighty grave
He showed me a glimpse of a better England
A land free of knights, lords & craven knaves.

Last night I dreamt of another England
Last night I dreamt of another England
Last night I dreamt of another England.
