With a bunch of strangers who worship my name
I gathered at the gravesite in the pouring rain
Never thought I'd find myself back here again
Yet, here I am standing in the lake
Got a lotta pieces missing in my past
Never really noticed time was moving so fast
So many questions that I wanted to ask
But I'll let all my chances slip past
They slip past
Pass it on, pass it on
Teach them the words of your song
Voices fall silent but memories live on
Those we remember are never gone
Never gone
A wooden bar to drink it, a new draw by the bed
A dusty sheaf of letters from people now dead
A lock of golden hair cut from a baby's head
And so many things left unsaid
Neither sentimental or deeply profound
All the things we've hidden will one day be found
The riches of a family cannot be weighed in pounds
But in the stories can hand down
Hand 'em down
Pass it on, pass it on
Teach them the words of your song
Voices fall silent but memories live on
Those we remember are never gone
Pass it on, pass it on
Teach them the words of your song
Voices fall silent but memories live on
Those we remember are never gone
Billy Bragg is a British singer-songwriter, guitarist, and activist born in Barking, Essex, in 1957. His music combines elements of folk, punk, and soul with politically and socially charged lyrics, aligning with the tradition of protest songs. Bragg began his musical career in the 1980s, influenced by artists like Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan. His direct style and incisive songs have won him a wide audience and established him as one of Britain's most important singer-songwriters. Among his most notable albums are "Brewing Up a Storm" (1986), "Talking with the Taxman About Poetry" (1989), and "Mermaid Avenue" (1998), a collaboration with Wilco and Ralph Stanley that revisits Woody Guthrie's unpublished songs. Bragg is also a politically active activist engaged in the fight for workers' rights and against social injustice. His music has always reflected his worldview and his civic commitment.
