Nail Down The Days |
You give me something that I just can’t explain |
I was lost in my childhood feeling lonely |
I’ll be the big man I’ll be the big noise |
I’ll be the quare fellow aaah |
With these flat hand and a mind of my own |
I was lost in dreams of a different home |
I’ll be the big man I’ll be the big noise |
I’ll be the quare fellow aaah |
On these great shores I was born an immigrant to this city |
Under the bright lights under the bright lights |
I can’t be happy 'til it’s understood |
I’ll make my own way |
Give me something that I can call my own |
I nail down the days |
I nail down the days |
In this land I was raised to bow down to the man |
I walked under the steel I walked under the steel |
Nothing’s changed so I’ll wait and I’ll pray |
Come now what may |
Live and work for the best that they’ll pay |
Nail down the days |
Nail down the days |
See me a stranger and I’ll call you a friend |
You can lead me a lamb to the slaughter |
I’ll be the big man I’ll be the big noise |
I’ll be the quare fellow aaah |
Nothing’s changed so I’ll wait and I’ll pray |
Come now what may |
Live and work for the best that they’ll pay |
Nail down the days |
Nail down the days |
