Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Stop the clocks and open up your ears and drown out one flat string
Because there is more than one voice here and baby we are here to say something
Weve come to burn down the halls weve come to break down the halls of history
Weve come to set fire to this land and demand accountability
So we marched over the mountains we marched over the Thames
When you said you couldnt hear us we sang louder and then,
When all the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldnt put this country back together again
When no ones listening only violence makes the news
Ive got the Emily Davison blues
Stop the clocks and open up your ears and hear our voices sing
in every street across this land let the sound of revolution ring.
Weve come to take back whats ours weve come to make the powers justified.
The selling of our futures by a man who stole our votes with a lie
So we marched over the mountains we marched over the Thames
When you said you couldnt hear us we sang louder and then,
When all the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldnt put this country back together again
When no ones listening only violence makes the news
Ive got the Emily Davison blues
Stop the clocks and open up your ears and hear our voices sing.
Because there is more than one voice here and baby
Weve come to say something
Weve come to say something
Weve come to say something
So we marched over the mountains we marched over the Thames
When you said you couldnt hear us we sang louder and then,
When all the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldnt put this country back together again
When no ones listening only violence makes the news
Ive got the Emily Davison blues
When no ones listening only violence makes the news
Its not an option that we would ever gladly choose
But it seems whichever way I vote I always lose
And there is no victim no minority whose
Hopes you wont stand on wont abandon wont abuse
When only millionaires and Tories write the news
Ive got the Emily Davison blues
