lyrics

The sun has drawn the colour from her glory
Now she stands a mute and a cripple by his side
And the son hangs from the tree and Mary’s broken
There’s no love or compassion in this house, in this house

And when the family prays
Father begs for money
And when the family prays
Mother begs for more
Family prays, sister wants avenging
Every child in heaven cries in shame

A choir of joy and freedom sings his praises
Then America swings in and buys them out
And the new God can be found on every network
So bow down sister and give out, and give out

Now I’m just a memory
A face in a photograph
Taken for granted
Taken for an idiot
You said you loved me
But love me, you never loved me
That was all treachery you tricked me
Oh you tricked me

A knock that shattered silence
I took back the breath of violence
Put my novel on the table
And I walked towards the door
Strangers incognito
Stared wide eyed through my window
With their false smiles of assurance
I screamed and yelled “no more”

God bless America

Every child in heaven cries in shame

about

The Passmore Sisters Manchester, UK

Formed in 1984 in Northern England, the band released four singles, one album & a brace of John Peel sessions before running out of milk & taking a nap for a few decades, only to be woken by the internet in 2018 bringing a compilation album of their 80's output and improbably, a brand new single in 2020.
Three members of the band also record as Fever Hut.
