letra de shabby road - acoustic - pat orchard

i’ve been walking down your city streets
talking to a man that i happened to meet
he took me aside
he said ”i’ve seen all the workings close
the foreign flags bring in cheaper coal
and whole communities die
you dig for a life-time and what do you get?
death by armchair buried in debt
won’t you take a walk with me down shabby road
where an englishman’s home is his castle in the air
cos you can’t find houses for everyone anywhere
but who really cares
a shanty town sign says no vacancies
the homeless hid away in their b&b’s
their children play on the stairs
and you work for a lifetime and what do you get?
no pretty pearls just beads of sweat
won’t you take a walk with me down shabby road
and everybody’s talking about the state of the nation
the need for investment and education
it’s time for a change
but everyday the divide it grows
i see the rich getting richer while the poor get videos
and the story’s the same
and you vote for a lifetime and what do you get?
a different coloured lie from a new rosette
won’t you take a walk with me down shabby road
let me take you down ‘cos i’m going to shabby road
