Billy Bragg — Upfield Demo

[Chorus] I'm going upfield, way up the hillside I'm going higher (up higher) than I've ever been before That's where you'll find me, over the horizon Wading in the river, reaching for that other shore I dreamed I saw a tree full of angels up on Primrose Hill And I flew with them over the Great Wen 'til I had seen my fill Of such poverty and misery sure to tear my soul apart I've got a socialism of the heart [Chorus] I'm going upfield, way up on the hillside I'm going higher (up higher) than I've ever been before That's where you'll find me, over the horizon Wading in the river, reaching for that other shore The angels asked me how I felt about all I'd seen and heard That they spoke to me, a pagan, gave me cause to doubt their word But they laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. Will you help us in our art? You've got a socialism of the heart" [Chorus] I'm going upfield, way up on the hillside I'm going higher (up higher) than I've ever been before That's where you'll find me, over the horizon Wading in the river, reaching for that other shore Their faces shone and they were gone and I was left alone And I walked these ancient empire streets 'til I came tearful to my home And when I woke next morning, I vowed to play my part I've got a socialism of the heart One more time, I've got a socialism of the heart [Chorus] That's why I'm going upfield, way up on the hillside I'm going higher (up higher) than I've ever been before That's where you'll find me, over that blue horizon Wading in the river, reaching for that other shore
