New Model Army Die Trying

Taken from the album ’Winter’ by New Model Army. Released 26/08/2016. Illustrations taken from Winter - The Graphic Novel by Matt Huynh Die Trying You can make a fire out of anything You can warm your hands on the plastic burning on the frozen ground When the only word is ‘when’ You can make a camp out of anywhere Polythene sheets and rope until they come to pull it down You just start again Winter storms and the snow flying Razor wire and the gulls crying Cross the water or die trying You can make a little hope out of anything Follow the latest rumour to an empty concrete yard On the edge of town Where there’s always someone to take your money There’s always someone to make a promise and then go to ground Another face to forget Winter storms and the snow flying Razor wire and the gulls crying Cross the water or die trying You can lie awake through the long dark night And count the trucks as they go passing by
