Vale Of Evesham Lyrics - Toyah

(willcox) 

I can feel summer at last from the heat 

In the red-brick city 

The evening light pulls a veil of linen 

Over the night time 

Life's a gas 

Will I walk there again. 

In the sleeping Vale of Evesham 

Lies a shady town in market garden land 

The abbey, demonic and provoking 

I have laid across its stones 

The back street pub where Bowie sang 

"Is there life on Mars" 

While the boys in the back room 

Pumped heroin into their veins 

The girls, my friends determined 

Not to succeed 

Pregnant by unknown fathers by fourteen 

Mocked me my ambition 

The tramp we thought we killed 

Had us running scared 

Deeper into night 

>From fight to fight 

The transport cafe from which 

We'd steal our golden dreams 

So few survived and 

Those who have, 

Have disappeared just flowers on their graves 

Born with broken hearts yes, 

Thank you world for my crucufied icons 

Lovers of the impossible dream 

T.V.'s suicides, mass sacrifice 

We're just buzzing in the hive 

Born with broken hearts.
