Big Audio Dynamite - Beyond The Pale Lyrics

Send "Beyond The Pale" ringtone to your cell

If you don't know where I come from

You better steer clear of my trail

From the dark side of London

That's way beyond the pale

My grandpa came from Russia

Stowed away hidden in some bales

He took my grandma dancing

To the air raid sirens wail

Then Saint George used his sword on the immigrant poor

'Cause he can't kill no dragon

If I was in those shoes

I'd say Soweto's gonna happen here too

I gotta get a message through

Tell everybody the news

And with the winter coming

Crossing all the borders

Through the smoke of war and rain

Papers out of order on a military train

A coat a bag a baby status refugee

These are the people of my family

Don't anybody know that this city was made

Of immigrant blood and money

If I was in those shoes

A black shirt with playboy blues

I gotta get a message through

Tell everybody the news

And with the winter coming

Now there's a rocker in Vladivostok

Got every side by Jerry Lee

But for accidents of disorder

That guy could well be me

I want everybody to know this

I want everyone to hear

Immigration built the nation

You got a blood cross standing here

Now Saint George used his sword on the immigrant poor

'Cause he can't kill no dragon

If I was in those shoes

I'd say Soweto's gonna happen here too

I gotta get a message through

Tell everybody the news

And with the winter coming

Don't anybody know that the city was made

Of immigrant blood and money

If I was in those shoes

A black shirt with playboy blues

I gotta get a message through

Tell everybody the news

And with the winter coming
