State Of Grace
Outside a factory yard
Once locked gates and empty buildings
A long recession had hit us so hard
A welfare state was our only saving grace
No coups, no revolutions
No martial laws, no pogroms
We're in a state of grace
In our castles and homes
It's a pride of place
This domain is our own
We're standing beside
School gates and a crowded playground
Trying to teach a compassionate world
And learning hope, where some hope can be found
No commissars, no KGB
No dictators, no bully beefs
From cradle to grave
Vouchsafed to the end of our days
A legacy to be saved
A celebration, a coming of age
No frauds or snake-oil salesmen
No tub-thumping, no phoney statesmen
Once locked gates and empty buildings
A long recession had hit us so hard
A welfare state was our only saving grace
No coups, no revolutions
No martial laws, no pogroms
We're in a state of grace
In our castles and homes
It's a pride of place
This domain is our own
We're standing beside
School gates and a crowded playground
Trying to teach a compassionate world
And learning hope, where some hope can be found
No commissars, no KGB
No dictators, no bully beefs
From cradle to grave
Vouchsafed to the end of our days
A legacy to be saved
A celebration, a coming of age
No frauds or snake-oil salesmen
No tub-thumping, no phoney statesmen
