in this place

all the years i worked in this place

the friends that i knew here

i loved every face

i loved the smoke the heat and the noise

but the profits too small for the black suited boys

oh angel

it's coming down stone by stone

it's breaking up home by home

take it away

take it away

take it

in this place i will lay my life down

in this place i will let you carry me

as i age so my learning grows

i still touch the vision

i still smell the rose in this place

all the years i lived in this place

the people we knew here

i loved every face

i love the parties

the funerals and fights

but a supermarket needs the land

and i have no rights

oh angel

it's coming down stone by stone

it's breaking up home by home

take it away

take it away

take it

in this place i will lay my life down

in this place i will let you carry me

as i age so my learning grows

i still touch the vision

i still smell the rose in this place

all the years i spent in this place

the children i raised here

i love every face

i love this country

the land of my birth

how much am i wanted

how much am i worth

oh angel

it's coming down stone by stone

it's breaking up home by home

take it away

take it away

take it

in this place i will lay my life down

in this place i will let you carry me

as i age so my learning grows

i still touch the vision

i still smell the rose

in this place i will lay my life down

in this place i will let you carry me

as i age so my learning grows

i still touch the vision

i still smell the rose in this place
