Lyrics James Reyne – Land Of Hope And Glory
Text:
From the clatter of a honky tonk
To the quiet of the range
Been thinking ’bout silence golden
Golden silence change
And only moon was cool
And the steam of danger rose
From a ripple — less darkened pool
Came to America
Stopped out in the west
I ain’t no shot-gun rider
Alligator on my chest
A hot-bed of indifference
A seed-bed of so — so
It’s a push and shove
I said Lord above
What a way to go
Don’t say that you love me
Just say you might
You keep holding on
To things you think are right
I said yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Land of hope and glory
I said yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Land of hope and glory
Seen foreign soldiers
Beach — head army ducks
Seen local farmers
In their big red pick-up trucks
Seen drug — store cowboys
Seen pet — boys in the city
Who need a love so strange
Well I’ve dined with big business
And I stood for the toast
Seen those screenplay writers
In their big homes on the coast
Stood in cathedrals
And breathed hard at the sight
I asked the same old questions
Do I need this stuff tonight
I said yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Land of hope and glory
I said yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Land of hope and glory
I said yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah…
