lyrics

GODOT WOZ 'ERE

This is where your dad grew up
And here's where he met your mum
And this is where grandad's car blew up
After street fighting fascist scum
And here's the hall where your dad would sing
And here's the stand where he'd shout
This is where he was taken in
And this is where he sold out

The backbone of Britain? Don't give me that
We're machine cogs oiled by beer
This land wasn't marked by Christ's sandal prints
But Godot was here

This is where your dad would meet
His mates on Saturday afternoons
And here's where they would talk and eat
And here's where they'd play their tunes
The jukebox was their soundtrack
To their babbling stream of schemes
Any of those songs would take your dad back
To when the future was a dream

England's glory? Do me a favour, son
There's nothing here to salute or cheer
The lie this land was built on has long gone
But Godot was here

This is where your mum and dad were wed
And where your nan was laid to rest
And this is where they earned their stale bread
And learnt the milk of kindness curdled in the breast
This is where your dad was betrayed
And red went to white then to blue
This is the place your dad tried to escape
And you must leave it too

The commonwealth? Don't make me laugh
They deal in ignorance, contempt and fear
Even Satan drove straight on through
But Godot was here

Composed by Dave Pope & Paul Hamilton.
