Artist/Band: New Model Army
Lyrics for Song: Green And Grey
Lyrics for Album: Anthology [2011]



The time I think most clearly

the time I drift away

is on the busride

that meanders

up these valleys of green and grey.

I get to think about what might have been

and what may yet come true

and I get to pass the rainy mile

thinking of you.

And all the while, all the while

I still hear that call

to the land of gold and poison

that beckons to us all.

Nothing changes here very much

you used to say it never will.

The pubs are all full on friday nights

and things get started still.

We spent hours last week with Billy-Boy

bleeding, yeah, queuing in casualty,

staring at those posters we used to laugh at,

Never-neverland, palm trees by the sea.

Well, there was no need for those guys to hurt him so bad

when all they had to do was knock him down.

But no one asks to many questions like that anymore

since you left this town.



And tomorrow brings another train,

another young brave steals away.

But you're the one I remember

from these valleys of the green and the grey.



You used to talk about winners and losers all the time

as if that was all there was.

As if we were not of the same blood family,

as if we lived by different laws.

Do you owe so much less to these rain swept hills

than you owe to your good self?

Is it true that the world has always got to be something

that seems to happen somewhere else?

For God's sake,

don't you realize

that I still hear that call?

Do you think you're so brave

just to go running

to that which beckons to us all?



And tomorrow brings another train,

another young brave steals away.

But you're the one I remember

from these valleys of the green and the grey.



No, not for one second

did you look behind you

as you were walking away.

Never once did you wish

any of us well,

those who had chosen to stay.

And if that's what it takes to make it

in the place where you live today

then I guess you'll never read one of these letters that I sent

from these valleys of the green and the grey.
