Grandma's Song (祖母之歌) - Original Cast Of Billy Elliot[00:00:00]
Written by:Elton John/Lee Hall[00:00:01]
I hated the sod for thirty three year[00:00:30]
We should never have married of that I'm quite clear[00:00:35]
He spent the housekeeping money on whisky and beer[00:00:40]
And never lifted a finger[00:00:45]
Times were hard but the swine rolled back p**sed[00:00:50]
So we'd fight and he'd swing and he rarely missed[00:00:55]
So I'd clobber the sod when he couldn't resist[00:01:00]
Asleep you can't lift a finger[00:01:05]
But we'd go dancing and he'd hold me tight[00:01:10]
He was air he was water he was breath he was light[00:01:15]
And he would hold me there with all his might[00:01:20]
And it was bliss for an hour or so[00:01:24]
But then they called time to go[00:01:30]
And in the morning we were sober[00:01:35]
O he'd drink and he'd talk just like a fool[00:01:49]
Lie like a bairn and snore like a mule[00:01:55]
Rarely was sober pretty much was the rule[00:01:59]
And he never lifted a finger[00:02:04]
I suppose times were hard things were different then[00:02:09]
Women were women and men they were men[00:02:14]
Seventeen that was it your life ended when you had a ring around your finger[00:02:18]
But we'd go dancing he was me own Brando[00:02:28]
And for a moment there my heart was a glow[00:02:33]
We had dust in our hair and nowhere to go[00:02:38]
But we were free for an hour or three[00:02:43]
From the people we had to be[00:02:48]
But in the morning we were sober[00:02:53]
But if I went through my time again[00:03:08]
Oh I'd do it without the help of men[00:03:13]
Or at least your Grandad[00:03:18]
But then again you know[00:03:21]
Best not to linger[00:03:25]
What is the use of dreaming now[00:03:29]
I had my chance well anyhow[00:03:34]
If I'd only known then what I know now[00:03:39]
I'd've given them all the finger[00:03:44]
And gone dancing and not give a sh*t[00:03:49]
And spin around and reel and love each bit[00:03:53]
And I'd dance alone and enjoy it[00:03:57]
And I'd be me for an entire life[00:04:01]
Instead of somebody's wife[00:04:05]
And I never would be sober[00:04:09]
And I never would be sober[00:04:19]
