We are born of ancient family Living here all our days And though we love our scenery Wouldn't we just love somewhere to stay? It's an order for eviction And I can't believe I'm seeing what I see
If it kills I will surround myself With four stone walls A little pride upon the shelf And four stone walls around me.
And they came to meet you, one and all With big words in the village hall Getting older, looking back Still the fact is nothing changed at all Never charity we seek, just honest wages Once a week and a place called home
If it kills I will surround myself With four stone walls A little pride upon the shelf And four stone walls around me
To whom it will concern within your office Wouldn't you wish more than this, a caravan Pushed aside, forgotten land For me and my kind.
If it kills I will surround myself With four stone walls A little pride upon the shelf And four stone walls around me.

It's an order for eviction
And I can't believe I'm seeing what I see
If it kills I will surround myself
With four stone walls
A little pride upon the shelf
And four stone walls around me.

Never charity we seek, just honest wages

With four stone walls
A little pride upon the shelf
And four stone walls around me
To whom it will concern within your office

Pushed aside, forgotten land
For me and my kind.
If it kills I will surround myself
With four stone walls
A little pride upon the shelf
And four stone walls around me.
