lyrics

Back in nighteen eighty-one
Nuclear fear and cold war
Made some women to ward off the threat and march
Ten days long from Wales to South England
Towards Greenham Common land

‘We share the same old nightmares
We hooked them on Greenham barbwires
Weaving the web of our dreams
Cause after all we dance for this flesh, these bellies
And joy and freedom to win, holding hands tight’

On New Year’s Eve Eighty-two
Greenham Women climbed the fence
On top of silos, they did dance in round all night long

Growing freely like a weed
Thirty thousand women circled the base
Maggie didn’t like they could take her place

‘We will dance until the crimes end
We’ll embrace the base with our powerful hands’
