Native Land Lyrics - Everything But The Girl

Stone the crows if you've done it again 

If I've told you once, told you a thousand times 

Sometimes I am so convinced 

We're casting pearl amongst the swine 

Don't ever let me hear you say 

This is the life we folks must lead 

We shun the limelight, shun the glare 

And the circus built on a bigot's creed 

Heaven is a place I've heard 

But we haven't been there yet, I fear 

We may have opened pearly gates 

But sometimes hell stills steals in here 

Don't ever let me hear you say 

This is the life we folks must lead 

Do you think silver turns our locks? 

What gold do you think paves our streets? 

You say we're in a different world now 

Where money and love go hand in hand 

But can't you see we share this town 

So why should we fight on our native land? 

Can't you see we share this town 

So why on earth should we tear it down?
