Biography:
Levellers is a popular English rock band influenced by punk and traditional English music. The band is based in Brighton, England, where they were founded in 1988. There are several stories regarding how they got their name; from the Levellers, a radically democratic faction of Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army; as a reference to "The Level", a flat open space near where members of the band used to live in Brighton; or simply, according to guitarist, Simon Friend, a word they chose from a dictionary.

[VERSE I]
Em Asus2 Bm
These are dangerous times we live in I heard a man once say
Em Asus2 Bm
If you're prone to flights of fancy Your dreams can fly away
Em Asus2 Bm
See the sights around you Of breakdown and decay
Em Asus2 Bm
Wrought by the greed for a better life For which you have to pay
[CHORUS]
D Bm Asus2
Will you dance before the storm, and don't look back to where you've been
D Bm Asus2
The horizon's getting further, as the sands of time run thin
D Bm Asus2
Will you dance before the storm as the machinery breaks down?
D Bm Asus2
You watch the sky go black with anger, but no-one makes a sound
[VERSE II]
Em Asus2 Bm
From Glasgow town to London, Down the motorways
Em Asus2 Bm
There's people standing in the rain looking for any way
Em Asus2 Bm
To take them down to where they're bound, It's part of another way
Em Asus2 Bm
The art of survival In a modern age
[CHORUS]
D Bm Asus2
Will you dance before the storm, and don't look back to where you've been
D Bm Asus2
The horizon's getting further, as the sands of time run thin
D Bm Asus2
Will you dance before the storm as the machinery breaks down?
D Bm Asus2
You watch the sky go black with anger, but no-one makes a sound
FIDDLE SOLO
Em Em A Bm
[VERSE III]
Em Asus2 Bm
From Albion Hill to the old chain pier You can hear a person say
Em Asus2 Bm
'spare some change for all me pains, The world has gone astray
Em Asus2 Bm
Down the road another flat got burnt Where a friend of mine once stayed
Em Asus2 Bm
So another squat in Brighton Needs to hide another head
Em Asus2 Bm
And if your head spins around - go underground Away from the games they play
Em Asus2 Bm
There's people down there are trying to care And let each one have their say
Em Asus2 Bm
It's not revolution tactics It's not cause for anarchy
Em Asus2 Bm
Just a natural fight for a natural life Of which systems are afraid
Em Asus2 Bm
And if it all surrounds you Seems like there's no escape
Em Asus2 Bm
And there's people stood in front of you Saying do it in their way
Em Asus2 Bm
Turn your eyes towards the tides See how they never change
Em Asus2 Bm
The sands of time will break their mimd just like riding on a wave
[CHORUS]
D Bm Asus2
Will you dance before the storm, and don't look back to where you've been
D Bm Asus2
The horizon's getting further, as the sands of time run thin
