Ball And Chain lyrics

Artist  : Xtc 
Song : Ball And Chain
 


(Colin Moulding)

Save us from the ball and
chain,
Save us from the ball and chain,
Save
us from the ball and chain,
oh yeah,
The
diggers and the tower cranes,
The diggers and
the tower cranes.

Don't want
demolition,
Don't want your
compensation,
It's not just bricks and
mortar,
We are lambs to slaughter.

Save
us from the ball and chain,
Save us from the
ball and chain,
Save us from the ball and
chain,
oh yeah,
The diggers and the tower
cranes,
The diggers and the tower
cranes.

Must we live in fear,
From
those who shed no tears?
Our one and only
shelter,
Your games, your helter
skelter.

Motorways and office
blocks,
They're standing on the spot
Where
stood a home,
Crushing on the memories of
people,
Who have since turned to
stone.
(Ahh)
They've turned to
stone,
(Ahh)
They've turned to
stone.

Save us from the ball and
chain,
Save us from the ball and
chain,
Save us from the ball and chain,
oh
yeah,
The diggers and the tower cranes,
The
diggers and the tower cranes.
