Текст Faithless – Hope & Glory
Текст:
When I arrive eyes wide fired up
Tried not to slide and let the side down
Now the plane’s on the ground
I’ll find a good profession
I’ve come to the motherland to make a home to put my bed in
This weather does my head in
Some people are less than kind I wish
Mama was here so I could unwind
But I’m supposed to be the good news
So I lace up these hard black shoes
And look — more work
These streets were never paved with gold
They simply make my feet hurt
They just make my feet hurt
Just a little money in my pocket and a little bit left for those I love
To have enough food on my table and a little bit more for those who call
And in this land of hope and glory
You’d think there’s enough for us all
You’d think there’s enough for us all
When I arrive eyes wide petrified
Tried not to cry and let the side down
Now the plane’s on the ground
It’s 20 years later
Mama’s in the arrival lounge
I take a few seconds to kiss her
Then look around at what’s happened to my home town
What’s going on
But papa doesn’t look too strong
Rush home in a cab, windows up
«We gotta get in before they switch the lights and water off
for the night»
I have to get to know the guard dogs
Cause they bite
Progress just passed us by, to the right
Just a little money in my pocket and a little bit left for those I love
to have enough food on my table and a little bit more for those who call
and in this land of hope and glory
you’d think there’s enough for us all
you’d think there’s enough for us all
Just a little money in my pocket and a little bit left for those I love
to have enough food on my table and a little bit more for those who call
and in this land of hope and glory
you’d think there’s enough for us all
you’d think there’s enough for us all
John Reid:
The public needs to know that there may be other people out there who may be planning to attack against the United Kingdom.
That is why there’re a number of other security operations underway.
There is still a very serious threat of an attack.
The threat level is at severe, indicating the high likelyhood of an attempted terrorist attack at some stage.
