The Hours Creep On Apace - Henry A Lytton/George Baker[00:00:00]
The hours creep on apace[00:00:07]
My guilty heart is quaking[00:00:19]
Oh that I might retrace[00:00:25]
The step that I am taking[00:00:29]
It's folly it were easy to be showing[00:00:33]
What I am giving up and whither going[00:00:38]
On the one hand[00:00:51]
Papa's luxurious home[00:00:52]
Hung with ancestral armour and old brasses[00:00:54]
Carved oak and tapestry from distant Rome[00:00:57]
Rare blue and white Venetian finger-glasses[00:01:00]
Rich oriental rugs luxurious sofa pillows[00:01:05]
And everything that isn't old from Gillow's[00:01:10]
And on the other a dark and dingy room[00:01:17]
In some back street with stuffy children crying[00:01:20]
Where organs yell[00:01:23]
And clacking housewives fume[00:01:25]
And clothes are hanging out all day a-drying[00:01:27]
With one cracked looking-glass to see your face in[00:01:30]
And dinner served up in a pudding basin[00:01:33]
