All Gone Away lyrics

Artist: Style Council
Album: Our Favourite Shop

Lyrics

The wind blows whispers down the street
Having free reign with the town so bleak -
Like everything else it's - all gone away
The town hall clock gives forth its chime
For no-one there to ask the time -
Like everything else they've - all gone away

The grocer's shop hangs up its sign
The sign say's closed it's a sign of the times -
Like everything else they've - all gone away

But somewhere the party never ends
And greedy hands rub together again -
Shipping out the profits that they've stolen

An eerie wail comes from the pit
The ghosts of the men take the morning shift -
Just like clockwork - rusting away

Come take a walk upon these hills
And see how monetarism kills -
Whole communities -
Even families -
There's nothing left so - they've all gone away
