In Loving Memory Of A Name - XTC

Boom goes my heart

Dancing around your daisies

Church bells will start

Sat on you reading your ages

I drift away

In loving memory of a name

Covered in moss

You may have died for your country

Forgotten, not lost

You’re laid to rest where you’re wanted

I stare awhile

In loving memory of a name

England can never repay you

You gave your life to be buried alongside

The place you loved

The sermons attended when you were young

Still echo round these churchyard walls

England can never repay you

You gave your life to be buried alongside

The place you loved

The sermons attended when you were young

Still echo round these churchyard walls

Heroes and rogues

Together surrounded by nature

Lump in my throat

Sat in the land of your maker

I drift away

Loving memory of a name

Loving memory of a name

Loving memory of a name
