The last in 30th anniversary series, luckily the Boys Heart makes it onto vinyl and deservedly so
This is a serious piece of work lovingly and freshly re-created in a totally new way
Most folks hearing the 30th anniversary re-records surprisingly always say they sound better than the originals and are actually truer in sound, The Boy's Heart is no exception

lyrics
Ballad of the English rose
This is the story of an English rose, who sank to a level of despair
Her hills and her valleys saw her children float, way beyond the saving of repair
Chorus
Dom da-doorah doorah hey! Dom da-doorah hey!
Pray you watch your soul and watch your faith
I bring you the ballad of the English rose, and pray your journey keeps you safe
Her monks and her saints were her very soul, sadly most of them lie butchered long ago
Since then this tiny island tried to hold the waves, that’s when this tiny island did fuck up
By Danes and by Romans came this want to own, all sucking at her breast all killing soul
Hence the rose did follow and did try what’s grand, the mirror her sad sister poor Ireland
Chorus
Our massacred halos all massacred numb, empty churches show a wounded home
Through faith and the ballad we have but come, to a shore near Saint Oswin where the blood did run
And incarnation as ballad at this shore, I can see the craze has lingered to now from before
Subtle clothes of change the spirit sees with age, all echoing on earth the hell goes on
Chorus
I fear the English rose, is all evil and all blue, a game at being friends with no care for me nor you
I fear the English rose, like most insect traps, is thin and bonny coloured, with death beneath its cap
I fear the English rose, is a prison and not free, and all that ever mattered were her saints and her sea
Chorus
