Hollywood Fields - Martin Stephenson/The Daintees
Composed by:Martin George Stephenson
I'd often see her dream of the hollywood fields
At the back of her factory see her fingers weave
She would slip off her apron and breeze and breeze
Through the hollywood fields through her favourite scenes
See her dance with the women and the men of her day
Perform to children at penned-in play
Through a mesh besetting them they would point and say
Ah look at that mad cow as her workmates gazed
I gripping the wire with tears and snots down my clefts
While the hollywood fields turned a dung filled trench
She'd sing California here I come right back where I started from
These slums to the golden gate a much kinder nicer place
The hills were golden and climate warm
When I witnessed her downfall the bell had not yet gone
The school the factory turned a roman muck
Even the corn mocked as derision struck
I gripping the wire with tears and snots down my clefts
While the hollywood fields turned a dung filled trench
And on her return to the jeering overalls mid her block
Her humiliated back I could barely see
For my tears and my snots
Through the crude wire fence through the hollywood stench
She'd sing California here I come right back where I started from
These slums to the golden gate a much kinder nicer place
California here I come
