Ballad Of The Times |
Narrow streets breed narrow minds and |
Care for king but not for kind |
It???'s a short hop to a long weekend |
when every move you apreehend |
You???'ll never find room to find your feet |
to walk out of this avenue |
Your pockets are lined with promises |
when did you promise ever pay for shoes? |
Counting coal trucks by the line and |
raise your glasses one more time |
???'Cause Billy has gone off to war |
And God knows what he???'s fighting for |
But wartime will make him a man |
Work that no one see, if you can |
A hero???'s grave is 6 feet deep not |
Room enough for all his plans. |
She can scrub the step but if he???'ll never gleam |
If he did she???'d smash the dream |
And they???'ve held the world too long |
But dreams are what you wake up from |
Father was a fighter too |
The only way to jump the queue |
Boxing clever, times were tough |
But will that ever be enough? |
You???'d never find room to find his feet |
To walk out of these avenues |
Their pockets are lined with promises |
When did they promise ever pay for shoes? |
When did they promise ever pay for shoes? |
