Black Cardigans by Bryony Beynon Lyrics
In sisterhood and total defiance, they rely on our compliance
The only stars are in the sky, the only stars are in the sky
From greenham to llanishen, menwith hill to aldermaston
Witches loom in our transit vans, a hex to your phallic death plan
Bolt cutter!
Bomb fucker!
Earth mother!
Cruise watcher!
Surround the perimeter
Mudslinger
Folk singer
Child killer
Bread winner
Armed with our black cardigians
They say they're poised to deter, they say they're quick to react
Now we embrace the base, the time has come to act
Do you plan to shoot us, constable?
Our strength makes you so uncomfortable
We shan't move, we shan't move, we can't lose, we can't lose
"well have you seen the bodies? picture you and your family
We can stop the madness but we must do it now
So come down to greenham
Take a fence down at greenham
No we won't move from greenham
For time is running out"
Sisters! to your stations now
Evaluate what you'll allow
There's power in our teeming crowd
Sisters! to your stations now
The only stars are in the sky, the only stars are in the sky
From greenham to llanishen, menwith hill to aldermaston
Witches loom in our transit vans, a hex to your phallic death plan
Bolt cutter!
Bomb fucker!
Earth mother!
Cruise watcher!
Surround the perimeter
Mudslinger
Folk singer
Child killer
Bread winner
Armed with our black cardigians
They say they're poised to deter, they say they're quick to react
Now we embrace the base, the time has come to act
Do you plan to shoot us, constable?
Our strength makes you so uncomfortable
We shan't move, we shan't move, we can't lose, we can't lose
"well have you seen the bodies? picture you and your family
We can stop the madness but we must do it now
So come down to greenham
Take a fence down at greenham
No we won't move from greenham
For time is running out"
Sisters! to your stations now
Evaluate what you'll allow
There's power in our teeming crowd
Sisters! to your stations now
