Faithless - Hope & Glory lyrics
[Faithless - Hope & Glory lyrics]
When I arrive eyes wide, fired up
Tried not to slide and let this side down
Now the plane's on the ground
I'll find a good profession, it's 1957
I've come to the motherland 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 where never 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
And 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 this side down
Now the plane's on the ground
It's 20 years later
Mamma's 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 goin' 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 passed 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
And 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
And 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
Tried not to slide and let this side down
Now the plane's on the ground
I'll find a good profession, it's 1957
I've come to the motherland 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 where never 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
And 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 this side down
Now the plane's on the ground
It's 20 years later
Mamma's in the arrival lounge

And 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

To have enough food on my table and a
Little bit more for those who call
And 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
