lirik lagu the cottager’s reply – jimmy aldridge and sid goldsmith
[verse 1]
five hundred thousand english pounds, this old house and piece of ground
you and your wife, you’ve always planned to settle down cotswold land
well you best come in, you best sit down, it’s such a long drive from london town
would you like some tea, now, while i tell the reasons why i will not sell
[chorus]
you best come in, you best sit down
it’s such a long drive from london town
you best come in, you best sit down
it’s such a long drive from london town
[verse 2]
the stone built house that you call nice, was built at far too high a price
for me to g*yly sign away what others toiled for night and day
well they hammered bluestone by the yard and found the rent when times were hard
they lived and died beneath the sun, tending the field you gaze upon
[chorus]
you best come in, you best sit down
it’s such a long drive from london town
you best come in, you best sit down
it’s such a long drive from london town
[verse 3]
well they’re all gone, but as for me the wild hare still runs as free
and at dusk the badger travels still ancestral highways on the hill
i’m as cotswold bred as all these and i still need these fields and trees
i need the soil that bore my race and holds their bones beneath this place
[chorus]
you best come in, you best sit down
it’s such a long drive from london town
you best come in, you best sit down
it’s such a long drive from london town
[verse 4]
enough for me this cot of stone, a might of land to call my own
a friend to drink with, wife to smile, and cotswold country by the mile
so take your cup and drain down you would be peasant from the town
go on your journey let me bide content in my own countryside
