An Danzza - Song of the Rushes XVIII: Six o'Clock lyrics

Artist: An Danzza

album: Song of the Rushes


At six o'clock the factory uttered a prolonged howl
And gathered the workers together
And there they worked, saving two hours for food
The whole of the daylit hours
And into the dark till the bells tolled six again

All here was ugly
Even the green wool as it whirled round and round
Was neither the green of the grass
Nor yet the green of the rushes
But a sorry muddy green that befitted
A sullen city under a murky sky
And all the while the soul of Mary Jane
Was crying for beautiful thingsand found not one

One day at the hour when the machines rested
And the human beings that tended them rested too
The wind being at that time from the direction of the marshland
The soul of Mary Jane lamented bitterly
Then, as she stood outside the factory gates
The soul irresistibly compelled her to sing
And a wild song came from her lips
Hymning the marshlands
