The Journey
(Slave, slave, slave, slave)
When she arrived she was bound
Yeah, in Kings Cross
Oh, she can't see the light
Oh, she's in a steel box
Hmm she's feeling scared
Hmm she's battered blue
Oh, don't know where she is
Oh, she's servicing you
She lies down (she lies down)
And thinks of England
She thinks of England
Yeah, she starts to cry
Thinks of England
She thinks of England
She's seen a doctor, dentist, shrink
But not the way that you think
She's seen all walks of life
But never got out of herself at night
Oh, she's walking scared
Oh, feel the blood and shit
Oh, the human race
What's become of it?
She lies down
And thinks of England
She thinks of England
Yeah, she starts to cry (she starts to cry, she starts to cry)
Thinks of England, she thinks of England
Yeah, she lies down and thinks of England
She thinks of England
Yeah, she starts to cry (she starts to cry)
She thinks of England
She thinks of England
On the inside, we have a heart, we have a soul, we have a body
Yeah she's used, and she's used, again and again
Are you praying?
Could be a doctor, could be a dentist, could be accountant
Ooh, wheres the blood?
(Slave, slave, slave)
