Billy Bragg — Mansion on the Hill

There's a place out on the edge of town, sir Rising above the fact'ries and the fields Ever since I was a child, I can remember That mansion on the hill In the day, you can see children playing On the road that leads to those gates of hardened steel Steel gates that completely surround, sir The mansion on the hill At night, my daddy'd take me and we'd ride Through the streets of a town so silent and still Park on a back road along the highway side Look up at that mansion on the hill In the summer, all the lights would shinе There'd be music playing, pеople laughing all the time Me and my sister we'd hide out in the tall corn fields Sit and listen to that mansion on the hill Tonight, down here in Linden town I watch the cars rushing home from the mill There's a beautiful full moon rising Above that mansion on the hill There's a beautiful full moon rising Above that mansion on the hill
