Hope & Glory |
When I arrive eyes wide fired up, |
Tried not to slide and let the side down, Now the |
Planes on the ground. |
I’ll find a good profession, it’s 1957, |
I’ve come to the mother land to make a home to put my bed in, |
This weather does my head in some people are less than kind. |
I wish, |
Mamma was here so I could unwind. |
But I’m supposed to be the good news, so I lace up these hard black shoes |
and look more work, the streets whenever paved with gold they simply make my feet hurt. |
they just make my feet hurt. |
Just a little money in my pocket and a little bit left for those I love, |
To have enough food on my table and a little bit more for those who call, |
In this land of hope and glory, |
You’d think there’s enough for us all. |
You’d think there’s enough for us all. |
When I arrive eyes wide petrified, |
Tried not to cry and let the side down, Now the |
planes on the ground. |
Its 20 years later mammas in the arrival lounge, |
I take a. |
few seconds to kiss her. |
Then look around at what’s happened to my home town, |
What’s going on, but papa doesn’t look too strong, |
Rush home in a cab, windows up, now I hear dad cough, |
we gotta get in before they switch the lights and water off, |
for the night, I have to get to know the guard dogs, cause they bite, |
Progress just pass us by, to the right. |
Just a little money in my pocket and a little bit left for those I love, |
To have enough food on my table and a little bit more for those who call, |
In this land of hope and glory, |
You’d think there’s enough for us all. |
You’d think there’s enough for us all. |
Just a little money in my pocket and a little bit left for those I love, |
To have enough food on my table and a little bit more for those who call, |
In this land of hope and glory, |
You’d think there’s enough for us all. |
You’d think there’s enough for us all. |
