What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
The vans they come in convoys now, stealing through the dawn
2
Silent in the countryside in the hills up to the north
3
There's road blocks on the Meden bridge
4
There's click, click clicking on the phone
5
They're sealing off our villages, sealing off our homes
6
This ain't some tin-pot story arriving from a distant shore
7
But our own sweet, green and pleasant land in 1984
8
Her father crossed the battle lines in the first months of the war
9
She frowns down at the soup kitchen - she doesn't have a father anymore
10
It's cold in the early mornings, standing with your mates
11
Staring at the thick blue line armed and ready at the gates
12
This ain't some tin-pot story arriving from a distant shore
13
But our own sweet, green and pleasant land in 1984
14
The servants of our great nation
15
Have lied in the name of us all
16
While the officers of peace and order
17
Are busy breaking every law
18
There's hundreds on trumped-up charges
19
Hundreds on the streets
20
The future of our villages
21
Sown with bitter seeds
22
And hatred starts to rumble where there was no hate before
23
In our own sweet green and pleasant land in 1984
24
Nobody wanted to see the blood
25
As the blue lights flash through in the night
26
But all the words fell on deaf ears
27
And now the blind frustration bites
28
Two nations under one crown divided more and more
29
In our own sweet green and pleasant land in 1984
