[00:00:00] Roots - Single Mix (Remix) - Show Of Hands

[00:00:14] Now it's been 25 years or more

[00:00:17] I've roamed this land from shore to shore

[00:00:20] From Tyne to Teign or Severn to Thames

[00:00:22] From moor to vale from peak to fen

[00:00:25] Played in cafes pubs and bars

[00:00:28] I've stood in the street with my own guitar

[00:00:31] But I'd be richer than all the rest

[00:00:34] If I had a pound for each request

[00:00:37] For 'Duelling Banjos' 'American Pie'

[00:00:40] It's enough to make you cry

[00:00:43] 'Rule Britannia' or 'Swing low '

[00:00:46] Are they the only songs we English know

[00:00:49] Seed bark flower fruit

[00:00:51] They're never gonna grow without their roots

[00:00:54] Branch stem shoot

[00:00:59] They need roots

[00:01:06] After the speeches when the cake's been cut

[00:01:09] The disco's over and the bar is shut

[00:01:12] At christening birthday wedding or wake

[00:01:14] What can we sing 'til the morning breaks

[00:01:17] When the Indians Asians Afro-Celts

[00:01:20] It's in their blood below their belt

[00:01:23] They're playing and dancing all night long

[00:01:26] So what have they got right that we've got wrong

[00:01:29] Seed bark flower fruit

[00:01:32] They're never gonna grow without their roots

[00:01:35] Branch stem shoot

[00:01:40] They need roots and

[00:01:41] Haul away boys let them go

[00:01:44] Out in the wind and the rain and snow

[00:01:46] We've lost more than we'll ever know

[00:01:49] 'Round the rocky shores of England

[00:02:02] We need roots

[00:02:09] And a minister said his vision of hell

[00:02:13] Is three folk singers in a pub near Wales

[00:02:15] Well I've got a vision of urban sprawl

[00:02:18] There's pubs where no-one ever sings at all

[00:02:21] And everyone stares at a great big screen

[00:02:24] Overpaid soccer stars prancing teens

[00:02:27] Australian soap American rap

[00:02:30] Estuary English baseball caps

[00:02:32] And we learn to be ashamed before we walk

[00:02:35] Of the way we look and the way we talk

[00:02:38] Without our stories or our songs

[00:02:41] How will we know where we come from

[00:02:44] I've lost St George and the Union Jack

[00:02:47] That's my flag too and I want it back

[00:02:50] Seed bark flower fruit

[00:02:53] Never gonna grow without their roots

[00:02:56] Branch stem shoot

[00:03:01] We need roots

[00:03:02] Haul away boys let them go

[00:03:04] Out in the wind and the rain and snow

[00:03:07] We've lost more than we'll ever know

[00:03:10] 'Round the rocky shores of England

[00:03:13] Haul away boys let them go

[00:03:16] Out in the wind and the rain and snow

[00:03:19] We've lost more than we'll ever know

[00:03:22] 'Round the rocky shores of England

[00:03:25] Haul away boys let them go

[00:03:27] Out in the wind and the rain and snow

[00:03:30] We've lost more than we'll ever know

[00:03:33] 'Round the rocky shores of England

[00:03:37] Haul away boys let them go

[00:03:39] Out in the wind and the rain and snow

[00:03:42] We've lost more than we'll ever know

[00:03:45] 'Round the rocky shores of England

[00:03:48] Haul away boys let them go

[00:03:51] Out in the wind and the rain and snow

[00:03:54] We've lost more than we'll ever know

[00:03:57] 'Round the rocky shores of England

[00:04:00] Haul away boys let them go

[00:04:02] Out in the wind and the rain and snow
