Émigré - James Dean Bradfield

The clocks are broken

And my hair is changing colour now

And nothing ever changes on the Great Western

But you’ll have me believe

There’s no water in the river

But the box kicks and the swallow dives

Always makes me feel alive

And when the rain falls down

It feels like a holiday

A holiday

And as we cross the bridge

We should stay

We should stay

Twenty years of leaving

And you never knew the reasons

Two hundered miles of sleepers

Taking you nearer

To decide what you love

And what you don’t hate

And follow the new bypass to from

Where you came

And when the rain falls down

It feels like a holiday

A holiday

And as we cross the bridge

We should stay

We should stay
