Wonderful Land - The Stranglers

I found a sepia memory

Outside our house by the sea

Days when the future held everything

Deep in the first sigh of peace

Look at the photograph

Look in the photograph

See how our mothers laughed

Our mothers laughed

Our mothers laughed

Gifts tumble down through history

Wisdom must shine trough the lie

Adam has buried a book for you

Dig deep you’ll bring it to the light

The wonderful land

There was a face in the photograph

Bleached by a kiss from the sun

Mother, land, broken, hearts

Bury the photograph

See how our mother laughed

Our mothers laughed

In the wonderful

Wonderful land

A wonderful

Wonderful land

Under Albion’s hand

This is a wonderful land

Albion’s hand

Under Albion’s hand

This is a wonderful land
