Upfield Lyrics - Billy Bragg

I'm goin' up field 

Way up on the hillside 

I'm goin' 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 

'til I had seen my fill 

Of such poverty and misery 

Should it tear my soul apart 

I've got a socialism of the heart 

I've got a socialism of the heart 

I'm goin' up field 

Way up on the hillside 

I'm goin' 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 spoken to me, a pagan 

Gave me cause to doubt their word 

But they laughed and said it doesn't matter 

If you help us in our arm 

You gotta a socialism of the heart 

You gotta a socialism of the heart 

I'm goin' up field 

Way up on the hillside 

I'm goin' 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 

And I walked these ancient empire streets 

'til I could tearful to my home 

When I woke next morning I vowed to play my part 

I got a socialism of the heart 

I got a socialism of the heart 

That's why 

I'm goin' up field 

Way up on the hillside 

I'm goin' higher 

Than I've ever been before 

That's where you'll find me 

Over the blue horizon 

Wading in the river 

Reaching for that other shore
