Upfield Lyrics - Bragg Billy

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
