Back in 1934 | |
He came bangin’ on the backstage door | |
Askin’ for my hard earned pay | |
Then he drank it all away you know | |
That’s the way it goes | |
It was come what may | |
Off we all went to the war | |
They stole five years, and so much more you know | |
I was a stranger to my wife | |
This is the story of my life you know | |
Slow slow quick quick slow | |
Then we were on our way | |
I looked through my window and the slate was gray | |
Over the rooftops and far away | |
I had a secret | |
I had a plan | |
One day I’ll be a family man | |
And on that | |
Butlins holiday | |
I heard a calling seems like yesterday | |
We sailed off to that distant shore 40 years and maybe more you know | |
On and on we go | |
Then it all fades away | |
Out through my window and into the gray | |
Over the rooftops and far away | |
This was my secret this was my plan | |
Now I’m remembered as a family man | |
Out through my window and into the gray | |
Over the rooftops and far away | |
I had a secret | |
I had a plan | |
One day I’d be a family man |
Back in 1934 | |
He came bangin' on the backstage door | |
Askin' for my hard earned pay | |
Then he drank it all away you know | |
That' s the way it goes | |
It was come what may | |
Off we all went to the war | |
They stole five years, and so much more you know | |
I was a stranger to my wife | |
This is the story of my life you know | |
Slow slow quick quick slow | |
Then we were on our way | |
I looked through my window and the slate was gray | |
Over the rooftops and far away | |
I had a secret | |
I had a plan | |
One day I' ll be a family man | |
And on that | |
Butlins holiday | |
I heard a calling seems like yesterday | |
We sailed off to that distant shore 40 years and maybe more you know | |
On and on we go | |
Then it all fades away | |
Out through my window and into the gray | |
Over the rooftops and far away | |
This was my secret this was my plan | |
Now I' m remembered as a family man | |
Out through my window and into the gray | |
Over the rooftops and far away | |
I had a secret | |
I had a plan | |
One day I' d be a family man |
