Bragg Billy Upfield Lyrics

Upfield Lyrics

I'm going upfield, way up on the hillside
I'm going 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 till I had seen
my fill
Of such poverty and misery, sure to tear my soul apart
I've got a
socialism of the heart, I've got a socialism of the heart
I'm going upfield,
way up on the hillside
I'm going 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 if you'll help us in our
art
You've got a socialism of the heart, you've got a socialism of the
heart"
I'm going upfield, way up on the hillside
I'm going 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
I walked these ancient empire
streets till 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, I've got a socialism of
the heart
I'm going upfield, way up on the hillside
I'm going 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
