The Journey - Richard Ashcroft

When she arrived she was bound

Yeah at King’s Cross

Oh she can’t see the light

She’s in a steel box

She’s feeling scared

She’s battered blue

Don’t know where she is

She is servicing you

She lies down (she lies down)

And thinks of England

She thinks of England

She starts to cry

And thinks of England

She thinks of England

She’s seen a doctor dentist shrink

But not the way that you think

She’s seen all walks of life

But never got out of herself at night

She’s walking scared

Through the blood and shit

The human race

What’s become of it?

She lies down

And thinks of England

She thinks of England

She starts to cry (she starts to cry)

And thinks of England

She thinks of England

Yeah she lies down (the slave trade)

And thinks of England (she's crossed some borders)

She thinks of England

She starts to cry (she starts to cry)

And thinks of England

She thinks of England

On the inside

slave slave slave slave

With a heart

A soul and a body

Yeah she’s used

And she’s used

Again

And again

Are you playing?

Could be a doctor

Could be a dentist

Could be an accountant

Where’s the blood
