Song Lyrics

I scream for peace from the clutches of the street
Now who do you think that you're saving
From the gust of glow my heart will flow
My love is like the raven

But no bitter past could try to unmask
The truthful words you've been saying
The British class will divide your task
But my love is like a raven

So gather your boys and hold on
This ain't a place to be hung
Oh no no no no
Gather your boys and hold on
This ain't a place to be hung
Oh no no no no
It's the rattle and roll coming over, hey!

If the hands of strife and the darkest night
Could write down the words they're exchanging
Then my ringed neck may bring the death
But my love is still the raven

No bitter fling could force you to begin
The truthful lie you've been craving
There stands a ghost on a withdrawn coast
That flies just like a raven

So gather your boys and hold on
This ain't a place to be hung
Oh no no no no
Gather your boys and hold on
This ain't a place to be hung
Oh no no no no
It's the rattle and roll coming over

So gather your boys and hold on
This ain't a place to be hung
Oh no no no no
Gather your boys and hold on
This ain't a place to be hung
Oh no no no no
It's the rattle and roll coming over
For it's the rattle and roll
