Richard Ashcroft - The Journey lyrics

(Slave, slave, slave, slave)

When she arrived she was bound
Yeah, in King’s Cross
Oh, she can’t see the light
Oh, she’s in a steel box
She’s feeling scared
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’ve 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
Oh where’s the blood?

(Slave, slave, slave…)
