lirik lagu al bowlly’s in heaven (live) – richard thompson
[verse 1]
well, we were heroes then and the girls were all pretty
and a uniform was a lucky charm
it bought you the key to the city
we used to dance the whole night through
while al bowlly sang “the very thought of you”
al bowlly’s in heaven and i’m in limbo now
[verse 2]
i gave my youth to king and country
but what’s my country done for me
but sentenced me to misery?
i traded my helmet and my parachute
for a pair of crutches and a demob suit
al bowlly’s in heaven and i’m in limbo now
[bridge]
hard times, hard hard times
hostеls and missions and dosser’s soup lines
can’t close mе eyes on a bench or a bed
for the sound of some battle raging in my head
[verse 3]
old friends, you lose so many
you get run around all over town
the wear and the tear, oh, it just drives you down
and st. mungo’s with its dirty old sheets
beats standing all day down on scarborough street
al bowlly’s in heaven and i’m in limbo now
[guitar solo]
[bridge]
can’t stay here, you got to foot*slog
once in a blue moon you might find a job
sleep in the rain, oh, you sleep in the snow
when the beds are all taken you’ve got nowhere to go
[verse 4]
i can see me now, i’m back there on the dance floor
oh, with a blonde on me arm, redhead to spare
spit on my shoes and shine in me hair
and there’s al bowlly, he’s up on the stand
oh, that was a voice and that was a band
al bowlly’s in heaven and i’m in limbo now
