a lazarus soul – long balconies كلمات اغاني
[verse 1]
first day of april 1963
mother fell in the lap of luxury
still tell to the day they handed her the keys
second floor palace, the long balconies
they did a little dealing in the shade
still of the cops and priests they were afraid
they hung their washing out there on parade
there was good dryin’
[chorus]
nothing was spared, what they had they shared
they kept their worries to themselves
they knit the community of the long balconies
[verse 2]
days they were rough, but no-one got upset
our little homes immaculately kept
the accent was flat, ‘n of that we were proud
but only as much as our poverty allowed
woke sunday morning by a jobless anger
after sat-rday evening down the black and amber
two scruffy young fellas belting out folk standards
they sang their hearts out
[chorus]
no-one was scared, what we had we shared
we kept our troubles to ourselves
we lit the community of the long balconies
[verse 3]
whether by flaw or design i suspect
they let our kingdom fall into neglect
the promises broke the second we had voted
they said that they cared but had another motive
so that the high-tech hadn’t far to venture
they needed homes beside the city centre
we watched our neighbours slowly disappear
we cried our eyes out
[chorus]
we became scared, what we had they shared
they had it sewn up for themselves
they split the community of the long balconies
[outro]
when we had a dream you see
in the long balconies
to never have to leave
to leave the long balconies
to leave the long balconies
to leave the long balconies
