The Stranglers - Wonderful Land lyrics

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
