Dance Before The Storm - Levellers
Dance before the storm These are dangerous time we live in I heard a man once say If you're prone to flights of fancy Your dreams can fly away See the sights around you Of breakdown and decay Wrought by the greed for a better life For which you have to pay From Glasgow town to London Down the motorway There's people standing in the rain Looking for any way To take them down to where they're bound It's a part of another way It's called the art of survival In a modern age Dance before the storm Don't look back to where you've been The horror's even further As the sands of time run thin Dance before the storm As the machinery breaks down Watch the sky go black with anger But no one makes a sound From Albion Hill to the Old Chain Pier You can hear a person say Spare some change for all me pains So if your head spins round, go underground Away from the games they play People down there are trying to care And let each one have their say It's not revolution tactics Or cause for anarchy Just a natural fight for a natural life Of which systems are afraid And if it all surrounds you Seems like there's no escape And there's someone stood in front of you Saying do it in their way Turn your eyes towards the tides See how they never change The sands of time will break their mime Like riding on a wave
