letra de see it come down - band of hope

[verse 1]
in the house where i was born first home i knew
there’s corrugated iron blinding up the windows
in the garden dad made round the lawn
where green grass grew
there’s muck and rubble and mud half bricks and timbers
for the developers have come to town
and soon i’ll see it, see it come down
see it come down

[verse 2]
my old mum they moved her to a high rise flat
where she misses her mates and hopes we’ll see her sunday
she lives alone with a lovely view and a clean doormat
afraid that death will catch her napping some day
the lady with meals on wheels, the one friend she’s found
though she cries for the old place
she won’t see it come down
see it come down

[verse 3]
cloud of dust like smoke round a demolition site where i drive my crane
swinging the big steel ball that smashes walls in
pull it in gentle get the cable right let it swing again
there’s little more no man’s land as each brick falls in
a car park and office block when i’ve cleared the ground
now they’ve paid me to see it, see it come down
see it come down
[verse 4]
we were all one where we lived wish we were now
we had debts and dole and kids but we did have neighbours
in our street they’re going to build a tombstone tower
like a monster concrete moneybox for strangers
every last square foot of it worth a hundred pounds
and soon i’ll see it come tumbling down
see it come down

- band of hope
