letra de no hope road - a lazarus soul
[verse 1]
after m-ss at the record stall
was our first blast of peter, bunny & bob
blaring out of the stereo
someone had opened the black ark of the covenant
i played the punter, you on the rob
till we’d nine tenths of peter, bunny & bob
they put our backs up against the wall
necessity’s the mother of invention
[chorus]
in your bedroom on the linoleum beneath clouds of smoke
you collapsed into my arms in ribbons
as you practiced your first toke
well pale skinned our sons & daughters
& our homes were bricks & mortar
but inside the same internal rhythm as the beat of the 9 mile day
[verse 2]
for we were idle & we were wrong
side of the tracks like peter, bunny & bob
to k!ll the boredom we kicked a ball
and when the sun shone, we lit up like a tournament
no hope road but the day revolved ‘round “signing off” & peter, bunny & bob
our sound system was a 2 in 1, hanging out on top of our extension
[chorus]
on the tar roof, on our mothers towels the soundtrack to summer days
teenagers trying to find their place in post-colonial decades
& we drank to those recordings from the land of wood & water
as our hearts pulsed to the laid-back rhythm, to the beat of the 9 mile day
[verse 3]
the days of broke had us in a choke
but we inhaled through peter, bunny & bob
we wrestled free of the colony
to suffer worse at the hands of our own governments
[chorus]
in your bedroom on the linoleum floor we dreamt we could escape
the stress of carving out a living that would seal our parent’s fate
now we both have sons & daughters
know the price of bricks & mortar
still our release is to retreat back to the beat of the 9 mile day
still our release is to retreat back to the beat of the 9 mile day
still our release is to retreat back to the beat of the 9 mile day
