I cried It's dead and gone the band replied But as they slowly tried it through The hands remembered what they had to do Give it poke and give it licks The name of the tune is Laying The Bricks I Stood outside the Albert Hall And wept, and wrote upon the wall; Work like you were Living in the early days of a better nation Living in the early days of a better nation We take the water to the tree She says, Now do the same for me It takes your sweat as well as art To dig a channel for the human heart There is no garden of delight Unless you weed it day or night Don't leave your life a lifelong long vacation I hear her whisper when we meet And when I crawl between the sheets, she says; Work like you were Living in the early days of a better nation Living in the early days of a better nation Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Dime Con Qui?N Andas, Duerme, El B?Lsamo De Fierabr?S, El Se?Or De Los Gramillos, Es Hora De Marchar, Fiesta Pagana, Hasta Que El Cuerpo Aguante, Hasta Que Tu Muerte Nos Separe, La Cruz De Santiago, Maite Zaitut, Molinos De Viento, Requiem, Santa Compa?A, Satania, Tres Tristes Tigres, At sea, Cry, Do You Love Me, Icon dj, Indian summer, Inhaling, Intersexual, La donna e mobile, Ocean, Rainbow, Rescua, Rescue, Sweet Instigator, This Is All I Have, Vespertine, Word Up, A Satisfied Mind, Absolute Zero, Arroyo, Backroads, Bad Road, Bar Hoppin, Beauty In The River, Better Days, Black Leather, Black Sky, Breakaway (From Those Chains), Chicken Train, Chicken Train Stomp, Cobblestone Mountain, Colorado Song, Commercial Success, Country Girl, Crazy Lovin, Crazy Over You, Other Oyster Band song Lyrics A Careless Life Lyrics Another Quiet Night In England Lyrics Between The Wars Lyrics Coal Creek Mine Lyrics Flatlands Lyrics Following In Fathers Footsteps Lyrics Following in Fathers Footsteps Lyrics Hal An Tow Lyrics Pigsty Billy Lyrics Rambling Irishman Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Oysterhead Lyrics Oz M?go De Lyrics Ozark Henry Lyrics Ozark Mountain Daredevils Lyrics Ozma Lyrics Ozomatli Lyrics Ozzie Nelson Lyrics P Box Lyrics P Diddy F Black Rob G Dep Lyrics P Drs Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
