Rome never looks where she treads Always her heavy hooves fall On our stomachs, our hearts and our heads And Rome never hears when we bawl Her sentries pass on - that is all And we gather behind them in hordes And plot to reconquer the Wall With only our tong...

If you ever have to go to Shoeburyness Take the A road, the okay road that's the best Go motorin' on the A13 Well, if you're looking for a thrill that's new Take in Fords, Dartford Tunnel and the river too Go motorin' on the A13 It starts down in Wapping The...

I've always been impressed with a girl Who could sing for her supper and get breakfast as well That's the way I am, heaven help me He said, "We don't like peace camapigners 'round here" As he nailed another one to the wall And that's what gets me in trouble, h...

As long as you hold me I'll get by As long as you need me I will try not to die I don't want the shame I don't want the blame I don't want the fame anymore If only they'd tell me, tell me why If I could believe them and their lies But I don't want their name...

Standing, standing up for the first time Baby Farouk is here Walking, walking all on his own Baby Farouk draws near Join us now in celebration To each child a generation! Climbing, climbing over the wall Baby Farouk is high Dancing, dancing out in the hall, B...

I would rather not go back to the old house I would rather not go back to the old house Too many memories, bad memories Too many memories there When you cycled by, here begin all my dreams The saddest thing I've ever seen And you never knew how much I really...

I have a letter from her When she worked for the "Woman's Realm" And all the things she promised me She promised herself as well She said, "I want my freedom." And ran off along the beach It's hard to love a girl so near Yet so far out of reach Yet so far out...

I was a miner, I was a docker I was a railway man between the wars I raised a family in times of austerity With sweat at the foundry between the wars I paid the union and as times got harder I looked to the government to help the working man But they brought...

And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountains green? And was the Holy Lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the Countenance Divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Amongst these dark satan...

[Chorus:] I will cross this body of water If you promise you won't try this at home You're where you want to be Where am I, I'm up a tree I had a hurt attack Rolled away, now I'm bouncing back Forgive me for feeling sick I think I just got up too quick Is th...

Crowds gather 'round Kneeling at the feet of common thieves Hungry for the word But God would never speak to such as these Such as these Who offer healing hands and balms And redemption, a few would cross their palms They'll tell your troubles to the Lord For...

I ought to leave enough hot water For your morning bath, but I'd not thought I hate to hear you talk that way But I can't bring myself to say I'm sorry The past is always knocking incessant Trying to break through into the present We have to work to keep it o...

The wheels have come off again And the fault is all mine One day was I thinking We were doing just fine. But it hurts me so to hear you say will you be Better off part, Please don't let my complacent mind Belie my loving heart. You've shot me down again From...

Far between sundown's finish an' midnight's broken toll We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight...

Blue velvet America Half glimpsed in the headlights between the trees Who punctured the beauty And invited monsters such as these The pig faced boy, the corrupted clown The grotesque figure who never comes into town Something broken, something stained Somethi...

Wondering why you left me After all I've tried to do You know I miss you baby And the children miss you too Tonight we done the dishes Just to keep your memory clear I cooled the hot dishwater With my cold and bitter tears The words which I've just s...

The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting The oranges are piled in their creosote dumps Flying us back to the Mexican border Spend all our money to wade back again Father's own father, he waded that river It took all the money he made in his life My br...
