With the skies in our eyes We had said our goodbyes Cause the future looked stale As the tears in our ale So why should we care If our fortunes lay bare It could not get as bad As the nightmares we’ve had It was the shock of something new Not the expected thing to do Cause we escaped when we moved to Brompton Lane It was a flat and very small It had nothing but had it all With no kitchen or phone We were left on our own With a life to rebuild Out of work and unskilled But a glimmer of hope That alone we would cope With a breath of fresh air And a passion to share You will always succeed When you’re planting new seed |
