Testo Ballad Of The Times
Narrow streets breed narrow minds and
Care for king but not for kind
Itôs a short hop to a long weekend
when every move you apreehend
Youôll 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
ôCause Billy has gone off to war
And God knows what heôs fighting for
But wartime will make him a man
Work that no one see, if you can
A heroôs grave is 6 feet deep not
Room enough for all his plans.
She can scrub the step but if heôll never gleam
If he did sheôd smash the dream
And theyôve 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?
Youôd 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?
Care for king but not for kind
Itôs a short hop to a long weekend
when every move you apreehend
Youôll 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
ôCause Billy has gone off to war
And God knows what heôs fighting for
But wartime will make him a man
Work that no one see, if you can
A heroôs grave is 6 feet deep not
Room enough for all his plans.
She can scrub the step but if heôll never gleam
If he did sheôd smash the dream
And theyôve 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?
Youôd 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?
WATT, BEN
