Life in Tenement Square Lyrics

	作曲 : Donovan, Hensley, King ...
	Well, I kissed the day,
	I was on my way
	From those cold gray blocks of stone
	For seventeen years of squalor filled tears
	A time now with innocence lost
	As the sun split the room
	With its rays filled with gloom
	Turnin' all hope to despair
	And the only thing left was to flee from the nest
	That was life in a
	Tenement Square
	I remember the song where the rats sang along
	And danced for their daily bread
	While the damp washed the walls that were twenty feet tall
	Not a child in the house was fed
	On the porter filled face, of the men left a trace
	Of the coin they had already spent
	While our mothers asked
	God, "What was Hell ever forWhen you lived in a Tenement Square?"
	Grab what's left of the coal from the ol' cubbyhole
	These cinders need more to be a fire
	While the ghosts of the soldiers that lived there before us
	Laugh with their guns by their side
	I hear them laugh with their guns by their side
	Now politicians they dwell in that forgotten hell
	Our misery's been turned into mews
	Where the fat of the land, now hog, hand-in-hand
	A crime now of life was ever true
	As the sun split the room with its rays filled with gloom
	Turnin' all hope to despair
	And the only thing left was to flee from the nest
	That was life in a
	Tenement Square
