Like weeds on a rockface waiting for the scythe

The world is on a corner waiting for jobs

Turn the holy pictures so they face the wall

And who can bear to be forgotten
A
And who can bear to be forgotten
A
March of flowers, march of dimes
A
These are the prisons, these are the crimes
A
Men wait for news while thousands are still asleep
A
Dreaming of tramlines factories pieces of machinery
A
Mine shafts things like that
A
March of flowers, march of dimes

These are the prisons, these are the crimes

Sound of thunder, sound of gold

Sound of the devil breaking parole

Sound of thunder, sound of gold

Sound of the devil breaking parole

March of flowers, march of dimes
A
These are the prisons, these are the crimes

Early, before the sun, they struggle off to the gates
A
In their secret fearful places they see their lives
A
Unravelling before them
A
March of flowers - march of dimes
A
Sound of thunder, sound of gold
A
These are the prisons, these are the crimes
A
Sound of the devil breaking parole
E
Ricochet it's not the end of the world
A
But when they get home, damp eyed and weary
They smile and crush their children to their heaving chests
Making unfulfillable promises
For who can bear to be forgotten
