STEVE HACKETT - People Of The Smoke (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Pop, I'm sorry, will you cheer her soul?

Members of parliament, we began the year, and we went to the poll

Are you sitting comfortably?

Fallen downstairs in the hall

Fog in the alley, pealing walls

Steam flame, scream train, tobacco road

When the bell tolls another stroke

People of the smoke come and go

Cloud factory, grey perfume

Red snakes slither under the moon

Horns in the night, play on bombsites

When the bell tolls another stroke

People of the smoke come and go

Flash of light when the sun shines through

Fairground dreamland where we flew

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Dirty look, do what you're told

Bow to your betters, empire of old

A hanging at dawn while a baby is born

When the bell tolls another stroke

People of the smoke come and go
