[Verse 1]
I'm harbouring sunshine
And pissing on smiles
You've got that look of disgust, babe
In those ephemeral eyes
And what good is life for
When the feeling subsides
You can pray for tomorrow
But it might not arrive
I don't know where you came from
But I hope you return
You can wish us misfortune
But we'll never learn
[Chorus]
And on home soil, I will rise
Dirty linen, we're all dirty linen
Beneath disgust, beyond your smile
Dirty linen, we're all dirty linen
Bring back the home where good men die
Dirty linen, we're all dirty linen
[Verse 2]
Where are the fruits of your labour
Perfect now gone
Has the milk from the west
Curdled too quick
To make it upon
Your own echelon
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
And on home soil, I will rise
Dirty linen, we're all dirty linen
Beneath disgust, beyond your smile
Dirty linen, we're all dirty linen
Bring back the home where good men die
Dirty linen, we're all dirty linen
And on home soil, I will rise
Dirty linen, we're all dirty linen
Beneath disgust, beyond your smile
Dirty linen, we're all dirty linen
Bring back the home where good men die
Dirty linen, we're all dirty linen
