I’m getting nervous, all this loose talk of war
But still so many problems closer to home, seem to be ignored
If you want to be a ‘real’ hero It’s the mundane things in life
Education, the ‘Health of the Nation’ which need putting right
‘Now, let me take your hand, I’ll lead you to the promised land
You know you can trust in me, I’ll be right behind you, just wait and see’
Don’t listen to the mad man, he got insanity in his eyes
Doesn’t know what he’s talking about, no sincerity only lies
Vacant glances, taking chances, sounds like the rhetoric of fools
He’s a man of material mean’s, I’m not sure what he’s trying to prove?
‘Now, let me take your hand, I’ll lead you to the promised land
You know you can trust in me, I’ll be right behind you, just wait and see
You have to understand that I’m the man who ties your hands
Politically, economically, yes, I’m the controller of your destiny
It’s a dangerous path we are taking
Beware of false prophets spinning yarns of deceit
‘Now, let me take your hand, I’ll lead you to the promised land
You know you can trust in me, I’ll be right behind you, just wait and see’
Yes, you have to understand that I’m the man who ties your hands
Politically, economically, yes, I’m the controller of your destiny

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper
I am new to Big Big Train..My first purchase..I really enjoy Folklore too..This music for me is simply wonderful. BBT have also made really affordable which is so appreciated. krudz
What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before?
This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship.
Essential. Crinklechips
