about

This song was inspired by the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017. It is also a reflection on the politics of the time. The terrible consequences that can happen when you put profit before people.

lyrics

Jack was a lad from London Town
He earned his living working underground
Nobody heard him make a sound
And the walls came a tumbling down

Jill came a rushing down the hill
Carrying a bucket of the government's spill
Hardly enough to pay the bills
And the walls came a tumbling down

Away, sending us away
We won't go away
We're the heart of the town
The jewels in the crown

Little Johnny kept his finger in the pie
He grew a hedge but it grew too high
Blocked out everybody else's light
And the walls came a tumbling down

There's a crook on the Old Kent Road
He asks Should we stay? or Should we go?
He profits from our fear
The seeds he sews
And the walls came a tumbling down

Take it back, take it back
Put it on the right track
Sick of the news, sick of the news
Inequality Blues

I don't care if it looks good
Or tastes a little sweeter
I just care about love
And going a little deeper than the surface
