Текст песни с аккордами
Вступление
From the 1986 Album Daring Adventures
[Verse 1]
Dm
Well we were heroes then, and the girls were all pretty
F Bb7 A
And a uniform was a lucky charm, bought you the key to the city
F
We used to dance the whole night through
Bb7 A7
While Al Bowlly sang "The Very Thought Of You"
Dm A7 Dm
Now Bowlly's in heaven and I'm in limbo now
[Verse 2]
Dm
Well I gave my youth to king and country
F Bb7 A
But what's my country done for me but sentenced me to misery
F
I traded my helmet and my parachute
Bb7 A7
For a pair of crutches and a demob suit
Dm A7 Dm
Al Bowlly's in heaven and I'm in limbo now
[Chorus]
F Gm7 Am7 Gm7
Hard times, hard hard times
F Gm7 Am7 Gm7
Hostels and missions and dosser's soup lines
F Gm7 Am7 Gm7
Can't close me eyes on a bench or a bed
Bb7 A7
For the sound of some battle raging in my head
[Verse 3]
Dm
Old friends, you lose so many
F
You get run around, all over town
Bb7 A
The wear and the tear, oh it just drives you down
F
St Mungo's with its dirty old sheets
F Bb7 A7
Beats standing all day down on Scarborough Street
Dm A7 Dm
Al Bowlly's in heaven and I'm in limbo now
[Solo]
Dm F Bb7 A F Bb7 A7 Dm A7 Dm
[Chorus 2]
F Gm7 Am7 Gm7
Can't stay here, you got to foot-slog
F Gm7 Am7 Gm7
Once in a blue moon you might find a job
F Gm7 Am7 Gm7
Sleep in the rain, you sleep in the snow
Bb7 A7
When the beds are all taken you've got nowhere to go
[Verse 4]
Dm
Well I can see me now, I'm back there on the dance floor
F
Oh with a blonde on me arm, redhead to spare
Bb7 A
Spit on my shoes and shine in me hair
F
And there's Al Bowlly: he's up on a stand
F Bb7 A7
Oh that was a voice and that was a band
Dm A7 Dm
Al Bowlly's in heaven and I'm in limbo now
