Big Audio Dynamite - Over the Rise lyrics

"This battle fares like to the morning's war When dying clouds contend with growing light What time the shepherd, blowing of his nails Can neither call it perfect day nor night" "Oh yes, indeed, we've got to keep up with the Joneses" But the moonlight was a good night To socialise No one was uptight, we were alright Over the rise Now far you bet me that you would let me If you were surprised And now you've met me, you won't forget me Over the rise Over the rise Over the rise And spending long long life Over the rise If were loved dear, it could be nice here And the same applies To you dear in your third year Over the rise If you're right here and you can't tell It's quite a disguise But you adapted with your dust pan Over the rise Over the rise Over the rise And spending long long life Over the rise Over the rise Over the rise And spending long long life Over the rise Over the rise Over the rise And spending long long life Over the rise Over the rise And spending long long life Over the rise And spending long long life Over the rise
