lyrics

1. THE LAND OF HOLY JOY

Turn north out of the city
No escape from sleaze and scandal in the provinces
Secrets of the whips laid bare
Them gang of men who pray on child in care
The sordid vision of a celebrity sneer
Whose love of hatred is the thrill of fear

I’m living in the land of holy joy / coughing dancing in the lanes
I am conniving through the land of holy joy / toxins coursing through my veins

Turn east out of the town and head for the sea
Watch the sun rise over grey and dirty expanse of water
I’ve got to uphold myself in this eeting world
Keep my head above the drowning swirl
I am picking through the fraudulent bad
For proper people a good time to be had

I’m living in the land of holy joy / coughing dancing in the lanes
I am deriving through the land of holy joy / to find utopia once again

Turn west from the sea and head for the wooded hills
The sun has set, the night is star bidden and still
Oh peace of mind and now begin to see
The man I was and the man I can be
Turn south again: head towards that city
Take on sodium lights that shine without pity

I’m living in the land of holy joy / coughing dancing in the lanes
I am conniving through the land of holy joy / toxins coursing through my veins
I’m living in the land of holy joy / coughing dancing in the lanes
I am deriving through the land of holy joy / to nd utopia once again
