Alabama 3 - Mansion On The Hill lyrics
[Alabama 3 - Mansion On The Hill lyrics]
He hit the dance hall round about mid-nine
Gin and juice and he's a'feelin fine
Come the morning all the sounds went up
Police, The Man said the joint was shut
All the brothers gettin' busted outside
Undercover officer readin' them their rights
"A one way ticket boy, you're prison bound"
The night the lights in Dowlais went down, so
How long we gotta wait until
We get the keys to the mansion on the hill?
The meek ain't gonna inherit shh
I want to know right now
How long we gotta waste our time
Boardin' a bus that's bound
For the welfare line?
The meek ain't gonna inherit shh
I want to know right now
She shakes the blues off then
She tries her luck
Makes a little bet, hopes her horse comes up
Pickin' pockets for some easy money
'Cause she blew the goddamn lot
On the National Lottery
Steals a paper to check the front page
Headlines read "The dance hall
Can't be saved"
How can they open up an opera house?
On the night the lights in Dowlais went down
Yeah
So how long we gotta wait until
We get the keys to the mansion on the hill?
The meek ain't gonna inherit shh
I want to know right now
How long we gotta waste our time
Boardin' a bus that's bound
For the welfare line?
The meek ain't gonna inherit shh
I want to know right now i tell you now
Tweak-freak Tony on the four-to-eight
Special Branch sting, right time wrong place
Columbian connections in the
Corridors of power mean the man on the money
Ain't ever goin' down
Lord Lucky takes his lady to the Magic Flute
A little taste of toot and
Now he's bullet proof
Tony tunes to underground radio
On the night the lights in Dowlias went down
So
How long we gotta wait until
We get the keys to the mansion on the hill?
The meek ain't gonna inherit shh
I want to know right now
I want to know right now
How long we gotta waste our time
Boardin' a bus that's bound
For the welfare line?
The meek ain't gonna inherit shh
I want to know right now, yeah sing it now!
How long we gotta wait until
We get the keys to the mansion on the hill?
The meek ain't gonna inherit shh
I want to know right now
How long we gotta waste our time
Boardin' a bus that's bound
For the welfare line?
The meek ain't gonna inherit shh
I want to know right now
Gin and juice and he's a'feelin fine
Come the morning all the sounds went up
