In This Place Lyrics - Peace In Our Time - Big Country

All the years I spent in this place 

The friends I knew here 

I loved every face 

I loved the smoke, the heat, and the noise 

But the profits too small 

For the black-suited boys 

Oh angel, it's coming down stone by stone 

It's breaking up, home by home 

[Chorus] 

Take it away, take it away 

In this place, I will lay my life down 

In this place, I will let you carry me 

As I age so my learning grows 

I still touch the vision 

I still smell the rose in this place 

All the years I lived in this place 

The people I knew here 

I loved every face 

I loved the parties, the funerals, and fights 

The supermarket needs my land 

I have no rights 

Oh angel, it's coming down stone by stone 

It's breaking up, home by home 

[Chorus] 

All the years I spent in this place 

The childeren we raised here 

I loved this country, the land of my birth 

But how much am I wanted? 

How much am I worth? 

Oh angel, it's coming down stone by stone 

It's breaking up, home by home 

[Chorus]
