Four Stone Walls

we are born of ancient family

Llving here all our days

and though we love our scenery

wouldn't we just love somewhere to stay?

it's an order for eviction

and I can't believe I'm seeing what I see

if it kills I will surround myself

with four stone walls

a little pride upon the shelf

and four stone walls around me

and they came to meet you, one and all

with big words in the village hall

getting older, looking back

still the fact is nothing changed at all

never charity we seek, just honest wages

once a week and a place called home

if it kills I will surround myself

with four stone walls

a little pride upon the shelf

and four stone walls around me

to whom it will concern within your office

wouldn't you wish more than this, a caravan

pushed aside, forgotten land

for me and my kind

if it kills I will surround myself

with four stone walls

a little pride upon the shelf

and four stone walls around me

if it kills I will surround myself

with four stone walls

a little pride upon the shelf

and four stone walls around me
