It was tinder
dry around Lillebo all summer
And we're not entirely certain
just how the fires began
But when the flames had
finally passed
An d we saw all that we'd lost
We weren't about to
bid it all farewell
Cos there's been fire
before an ill abode
And there'll be fire again
And come what may
There's been worse
things in our way
It's our home and we won't
leave without a fight
There were kid s who'd never
seen the rain in Grenfell
And everyone was wondering
just when the drought would break
And as each dusty day went by,
we watched the stockpile up and die
But we wer en't about to do
the same ourselves
Cos there's been drought
before in Grenfell
And there'll be drought again,
and come what may
There's been worse things in our way,
it's our home
And we won't leave without a fight
After all the years of toil and tears,
people ought to know
That we're not the sort of folks
who'll just let go
Most were glad when the
drought broke in England
But what had really happened
was the floods had just begun
An d though we worked
all through the night,
in the end we lost the fight
But that didn't mean we'd
lose the place for good
Cos there's been flood
before in England,
and there'll be flood again
And come what may,
there's been worse things in our way
It's our home and we won't leave
And there's been plot before in England
And there'll be plot again
And come what may
There's been worse
things in our way
It's our home and we won't leave
without a fight you
