about

Taken form the 2nd FS1E album Words & Deeds.

lyrics

Pillbox oh pillbox
Oh standing in the field box
Watching the water
Pillbox oh pillbox
Oh standing in the field box
Avoiding the slaughter

The cows they go on a-grazing
The dragonflies are all amazing

Pillbox oh pillbox
Oh standing in the field box
I'm talking right to ya
Pillbox oh pillbox
Oh mentally ill box
And I thought that I knew ya

Well the swallows they go on a-swooping
The riverboats are all polluting

So why don't you tell me all that you can
Tell me what it is that it takes to be a lover
What it takes to be a man

From the mud-flats of Essex
To the source of the Bean
You came up the river
Like the salmon upstream

And all that you really wanted
Was to be loved and well respected
Isn't that all that we all really want
We all really need when we get past all this bitterness selfishness spitefulness and greed

Don't have to tell you that
You know it anyway
But you don't listen
To anything I say
You got your problems
You brought them on yourself
And now all you want to do
Is blame everybody else
I feel quite sorry
That you're in your position
But then again you never took the time to listen

Pillbox oh pillbox
All concrete and steel box
Your best days are behind you
Pillbox oh pillbox
Oh critically ill box
There's no need to remind you

You're waiting for action that never did come
You fought for a freedom that's already gone
In a world that keeps spinning around and around
It's left you behind

But an island's an island
And you'll end up at the sea
An island's an island with caravans and pylons and acts of piracy

There's a ship sailing in from China
With cheap goods that are all designer
None of it's what you really want or your really need but you'll have it anyway
It'll end up back in the sea

Don't have to tell you that
You know it anyway
But you don't listen
To anything I say
You got your problems
You brought them on yourself
And now you wanted to
Blame everybody else
I feel quite sorry
That you're in your position
But then again you never took the time to listen
