| [00:23.57] |
He's had bicycles and sons |
| [00:27.89] |
|
| [00:29.28] |
He's had salted fish and dark rum |
| [00:34.08] |
|
| [00:35.21] |
Now his days are almost done |
| [00:38.84] |
|
| [00:39.56] |
In the Lagos slums |
| [00:42.74] |
|
| [00:47.23] |
Was a farmer for a while |
| [00:51.59] |
|
| [00:53.01] |
Growing plantains by the coastline |
| [00:57.78] |
|
| [00:58.71] |
And some said he had a smile |
| [01:03.28] |
Like a movie star |
| [01:06.39] |
|
| [01:10.90] |
La ah La ah ah ah |
| [01:22.66] |
La ah La ah ah ah |
| [01:33.91] |
|
| [01:34.46] |
Met his wife one Friday night |
| [01:38.83] |
|
| [01:40.27] |
At a dance hall near the train tracks |
| [01:46.21] |
And his heart soared like a kite |
| [01:50.63] |
In the evening light |
| [01:54.35] |
|
| [01:57.96] |
Worked the oil fields once |
| [02:02.31] |
|
| [02:03.69] |
Saved some money for his family |
| [02:08.47] |
|
| [02:09.54] |
Built a house near Eden's Point |
| [02:14.30] |
Where they raised their boys |
| [02:17.35] |
|
| [02:21.84] |
La ah La ah ah ah |
| [02:33.44] |
La ah La ah ah ah |
| [02:45.15] |
Says it's hard to be a man |
| [02:49.67] |
|
| [02:51.19] |
Works and still can't feed his children |
| [02:55.65] |
|
| [02:56.98] |
But he does the best he can |
| [03:01.47] |
In the New World Plan |
| [03:04.66] |
|
| [03:09.08] |
We're all forgotten |
| [03:19.60] |
|
| [03:20.84] |
This road leads nowhere |
| [03:31.78] |
|
| [03:32.68] |
We're all forgotten |
| [03:43.53] |
|
| [03:44.49] |
This road leads nowhere |
