lyrics

They may sell our bricks and mortar
But they can't buy out our spirit or our soul

The culture we wound up with
Covers all its costs
Because a balance in the black's the only benefit that matters
And it seems
There's ever less of us
Who know just what's been lost
Whilst this triple-dipping downturn leaves us ever further scattered

They may take the ground we fought for
Tempt us back into the rat race or the dole
They may sell our bricks and mortar
But they can't buy out our city or our soul

Raise a lantern against the deepening dark
For a community connected by a myriad creative sparks

Our old haunts may get redeveloped
Our secret sanctuaries knocked down
There's empty shells aplenty all across this rotten town
Yes, these are spaces we adore
But those who fill them matter more
We can still surpass all that we've done before

They may take the ground we fought for
Tempt us back into the rat race or the dole
They may sell our bricks and mortar
But they can't buy out our spirit or our soul
