Lyrics Benjamin Clementine – Edmonton
Text:
Oh how swallow is to hunger
As a pigeon to my Trafalgar
In them young boys eyes she’d seen
The kind of men they could have been
You see they are from the other side of the horizon
Where a lad stands a slim chance
Even if they knew
They’ve made all the right choices
And so could you imagine it
How it would feel to be a mother in this
Part of borough of never ending field
Edmonton
Edmonton
Will we change
Edmonton
Edmonton
Will we change
From time to time I ponder
But this so called reason for pondering
Ponders no end
I called Boris promised a sweet plan
So we gave him a second chance
He said stand and be headstrong
Black gigantic living stones
Oh how whispering is to falling short
As anger to the shutting of a door
John 11:35 Jesus wept and wept and wept
Cause ain’t nobody getting up from their sleep
And saying how about we start a new thread
Just a simple hello friend will do
Ain’t much of a duty in this part of borough
Of never ending field
Edmonton
Edmonton
Will we change
Edmonton
Edmonton
Will we change
Said I ain’t talking about a revolution
Just a simple hello friend will do
Ain’t much of a duty in this part of borough
Of never ending field
Edmonton
Edmonton
Will we change
Edmonton
Edmonton
Will we change
Will we change
