Oi Polloi Free the Henge Lyrics:
Sticks and standing stones Arrests and broken
bones Peoples' homes destroyed Vicious thugs
employed By rulers alienated From an earth they've
devastated Surround our temple with barbed wire
But in our hearts there burns a fire (to) Free the
Henge Free the Henge Our culture is attacked Our
right are violated I say its time to end The
restrictions they've created Free the Henge Free
the Henge

For thousands of years Stonehenge has been a
sacred meeting place for people - Furthermore in
1918 it was gifted to the nation the then
"owner" on the condition that there
sholud be free access for all who wished to gather
there so what gives you the right, the power to
decide that the people's access to the stones will
be denied? We won't be stopped by cops, four miles
"exclusion zones" 'cos we're coming
through to liberate the stones Free the Henge Free
the Henge The time will come again When we'll be
at Henge To feel the Earthpower At the solstice

Winter solstice 1988 - Stonehenge - Bands playing,
jugglers juggling, people breathing fire,
gathering wood in the trees as the music echoed
through the night air, laughing, sitting round the
campfire talking and sharing food and drink - An
amazingly friendly atmosphere - In the morning,
gathering before dawn at the stones, dancing round
the stone circle hand in hand - A little magic in
the midst of our grey, drab world of concrete and
exhaust fumes...

Summer solstice 1989 - Riot police, road-blocks,
coming up against the full force of the state,
chased through woods by the cops, hiding in the
ditches while helicopter searchlights sliced
through darkness to find us, fear, anger,
determination - That they will not beat us, that
they will not destroy our culture... A response:
If they think they can stop us gathering together
for free festivals they are wrong. Our response to
our experiences was just to come and organise a
free festival on Cramond Island near Edinburgh.
With the help of many others we made our own
festival - And you can too!
