Eleventh Earl of Mar - Steve Hackett[00:00:00]
The sun had been up for a couple of hours[00:00:59]
It covered the ground with a layer of gold[00:01:03]
Spirits were high and the raining had stopped[00:01:07]
The larder was low but boy that wasn't all[00:01:11]
Eleventh Earl of Mar[00:01:16]
Couldn't get them very far[00:01:17]
Daddy Oh Daddy you promised[00:01:19]
Out on the road in the direction of Perth[00:01:27]
Backwards and forwards in a circle they went[00:01:31]
Found a city half open and ready to greet[00:01:35]
The conquering heroes with blisters on their feet[00:01:39]
Eleventh Earl of Mar[00:01:44]
Somehow got them all this far[00:01:45]
Daddy You Promised You Promised[00:01:47]
See the Stewart all dressed up[00:02:03]
He's got eyes in the back of his head[00:02:06]
Who came in a cockleshell boat[00:02:11]
That could only just float[00:02:14]
Couldn't even lift a sword[00:02:16]
Dressed too fine and smelling of wine[00:02:20]
Daddy you've got to go[00:02:26]
Here comes the bishop all dressed up[00:02:34]
He's gonna bless you if you're ready to pay[00:02:37]
One wave of his funny old stick[00:02:42]
There's a band of light across your eyes[00:02:46]
Waited a week still they hadn't appeared[00:02:59]
That glorious timing that everyone feared[00:03:02]
So they're riding along on a crest of a wave[00:03:06]
They're headed for London[00:03:10]
And that will be their grave[00:03:13]
Eleventh Earl of Mar[00:03:15]
Well he couldn't get them down that far[00:03:16]
Daddy I'm waiting I'm waiting[00:03:18]
Time to go to bed now[00:04:42]
Never seems too keen[00:04:49]
To be a guest now[00:04:55]
In a house of dreams[00:04:57]
Flying from a hillside[00:05:10]
Beckoning the trees[00:05:18]
A sailboat's awning[00:05:24]
Mimicking the breeze[00:05:26]
I'm fighting gravity falling[00:05:32]
My Daddy won't let them get me[00:05:36]
A voice screams seems to be calling[00:05:39]
The face turns features are burning[00:05:43]
Daddy you got to go[00:06:11]
You've got to go[00:06:14]
See the fifteen going by[00:06:18]
Tell the Lairds and the Lords[00:06:22]
They're running backwards today[00:06:26]
And once again you stand alone[00:06:30]
Bury your memories bury your friends[00:06:43]
Leave it alone for a year or two[00:06:47]
Till the stories go hazy and the legends come true[00:06:50]
Then do it again Some things never end[00:06:54]
Eleventh Earl of Mar[00:06:59]
Won't be going very far[00:07:00]
You Promised You Promised[00:07:02]
You Promised[00:07:05]
DADDY[00:07:09]
