Recorded in Salford.

lyrics

'Most important enterprise…
Be prosperous and thrive'

Released from the Mersey and open today
Is an invitation to pass
And no longer be docked in rival places
Be free from the mercy of Railway Kings
Driven by the triumph of our patriotism
And of our faith in the grace
Of those that dare speak in our place

All along
In the inventories of these libraries
Were the manuals to rupture
The elasticated walls

Exposed now are the distensions and omissions
The partial diagrams
The interest of the trusted onlooker
Wilfully blind to an understudy cast
Now we read the difficult lines
That diverged the more
For having come some close together

Here is a timely intervention to remind us
And turn us back
From the easy fallacy of a simple past
A green hue on black and white
