Hope & Glory - Faithless
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.
