NONE OF THE ABOVE

Seems that Jamie 'STAN' STANLEY has a new single out taking things one step further than Martin Jeremiah's 'Count Our Money Out' and campaigning for 'None of the above'. Watch out for a link up on this site tomorrow.

Count Our Money Out - The Lyrics

Watch the video from the Links page.

We came down from London town
The likes they never seen
With our pockets bulging
Bought our little bit of green
And with the rising prices
Drove the natives from their homes
But you know they can’t stay here
They’re lowering the tone

But oh right now we need you
Good country folk devout
Swapping homes for second homes
Of that there is no doubt
But Oh right now we need you
Villager raise a shout
Oh, as we count our money out

We came round and bought the land
To send you to the wall
Rip the hedges from the earth
Remove the trees so tall
Long live soil erosion
And agro chemistry
Let the fields lie idle for our EC subsidy

But Oh right now we need you
Sorry bout the rout
Money grand can kill the land
Of that there is no doubt
But Oh right now we need you
Small farmer raise a shout
Oh, as we count our money out

We came down from London town
Watch you work upon the land
With your comrades in the fields
Put money in your hand
But with our cheaper imports
We don’t need you any more
Cut back rural transport then to isolate the poor

But oh right now we need you
We-re all one throughout
Economics upside down
Of that there is no doubt
But Oh right now we need you
Farm worker raise a shout
Oh, as we count our money out

We came down and beat the ground
Shoot bullets cross the sky
Dress in country uniform
To watch the feathers fly
And we stopped you trespassing
Put barbed wire all around
Ploughed up lots of footpaths
To reserve our sacred ground

But Oh right now we need you
All you who get about
Land and sea they should be free of that there is no doubt
But Oh right now we need you
Rambler raise a shout
Oh, as we count our money out.
