Fallen On Hard Times (The Broadsword And The Beast 1982)
Fallen on hard times, but it feels good to know That milk and honey's just around the bend Running on bad lines we'd better run as we go Tear up, tear up the overdraft again
Oh, dear Prime Minister, it's all such a mess Go right ahead and pull the rotten tooth Oh, Mr. President, you've been put to the test Come clean for once and hit us with the truth
Looking for sunshine, oh, but it's black and it's cold Yet, you say that milk and honey's just round the bend Giving us a hard time, my friends Handing us the same line again
Fallen on hard times and there's nowhere to hide Now they've re-possessed the Rolls Royce and the mink Turning on the peace sign and it's back to the wood Soon there will be raised a holy stink
Somebody wake me I've been sleeping too long Oh, I don't have to take this lying down You can keep your promises shove `em where they belong Don't ask me to the party won't be around
Looking for sunshine, oh, but it's black and it's cold Yet, you say that milk and honey's just round the bend Giving us a hard time, my friends Handing us the same line again
Fallen on hard times We're fallen on hard times Oh, fallen on hard times I do read between the lines Oh, when you're fallen on hard times
