Name: Those who made no sound
Duration: P00H04M21S
Description: "A few years back there was this incident with these strawberry workers in Greece, who were shot at by their foreworkers cos they had dared demand their wages. Again, starting out as a love song, but ends very angry, as a protest song. It acquired a new meaning during the oxi-referendum, especially the line "there'll be a time to think of this, to tell them no, to stop them doing this".

lyrics

1) There was a time that i once lost
it was a time that knew no cost
and many days we spent in bliss
no need for pain no need for this

chorus:
And I'd have never thought
that we'd look back on days like this
and i'd have never thought
that we would ever fall out of love

2) Sweet and innocent like us
we feel the rain, we fell the loss
we count these days long as they last
as they swell and as they pass

chorus

3) We pick the fruits up from the fields
they're full and thick far as i see
we think of those who made no sound
after they shot them to the ground

chorus II:
And I'd have never thought
that we'd look back on days like this
and i'd have never thought
this world would ever fall out of love

4) There'll be a time to think of this
to tell them no, to stop them doing this
there'll be a time when we will shout
shout out our pain
shout it out loud
chorus II
