Iron Hand Lyrics - On Every Street - Dire Straits

With all the clarity of dream 

The sky so blue, the grass so green 

The rank and file and the navy blue 

The deep and strong, the straight and true 

The blue line they got the given sign 

The belts and boots march forward in time 

The wood and leather the club and shield 

Swept like a wave across the battlefield 

Now with all the clarity of dream 

The blood so red, the grass so green 

The gleam of spur on chestnut flank 

The cavalry did burst upon the ranks 

Oh the iron will and iron hand 

In England's green and pleasant land 

No music for the shameful scene 

That night they said it had even shocked the queen

Well alas we've seen it all before 

Knights in armor, days of yore 

The same old feasance and the same old crimes 

We haven't changed since ancient times
