Take Them To The Traitors' Gate Lyrics

Oh, the corner statue's crumbled
In the acid rain
And our haunted house has vanished
Just like Old Jacob's Lane
Remember where we went to school
Stealing cherries on a careless summer day
Well, the orchard's gone now
There's just another motorway

Lead them to the traitors' gate
These men who break all frontiers
Demolishing our history and nature's souvenirs
Lead them to the traitors' gate
These mindless profiteers
Lead them to the traitors' gate

And the beach where we built castles
From the pure white sand
It is not fit for dogs today
All bathing has been banned.
Remember, the "ancient ruin"
And Halloweens lighting candles in our sanctuary -
There's not a stone now It's turned into a factory

Lead them to the traitors' gate
These men who break all frontiers
Demolishing our history and nature's souvenirs
Lead them to the traitors' gate
These mindless profiteers
Lead them to the traitors' gate

What will these fat ones eat
When the sheep run out of pasture
What will they buy
When they're caught under their own disaster
Don't let them tear down the last tree
Leave us with our nature and our history... leave us

Lead them to the traitors' gate
These men who break all frontiers
Lead them to the traitors' gate
These mindless profiteers

[This song is dedicated to HRH Prince Charles]
