Lyrics Newtown Jericho - Mike Peters

See them run
Like characters in paintings
Turners frightening 'scapes
Industrial inside a nation of no escape
No escape in my frightened face
As we run run run
And turn to stone OH LORD hear me now
The fanfare sounds in a Newtown Jericho
OH LORD the wailing sound
Of helpless souls in
Newtown Jericho See them fall
The rebecca ride at dawn
Petticoat ghost and tom
Working to reclaim the land for no reward
There's no reward my daughters of dawn
As we run run run
And turn to stone OH LORD hear me now
The fanfare sounds in
Newtown Jericho
OH LORD the wailing sound
Of helpless souls in
Newtown Jericho I've been down amongst the crying there
Upon my knees I'm dying
Seen Polsen dragged across the city walls
Upon a wooden horse This is Jericho
Jericho This is Jericho
Jericho OH LORD hear me now
The fanfare sounds in Newtown Jericho
OH LORD the wailing sound
Of helpless souls in
Newtown Jericho
