Home Counties Boy - Martin Newell[00:00:00]
When I was young[00:00:24]
Dark were the trees[00:00:27]
Houses are now where[00:00:30]
There once were fields[00:00:32]
And summers were long[00:00:35]
The trains ran on steam[00:00:37]
I was a boy from the home counties[00:00:41]
And don't drop your aitches[00:00:46]
My mum said to me[00:00:49]
If you want a job where your[00:00:51]
Hands will be clean[00:00:55]
But there was no way[00:00:57]
I'd dress in grey[00:01:00]
And go up to London to earn my pay[00:01:03]
Having to say thank you and please[00:01:09]
I was a boy from the home counties[00:01:14]
And now I'm as free as[00:01:20]
The times let me be[00:01:22]
And no one's the guv'nor apart from me[00:01:25]
So I'll mow your lawn or[00:01:31]
I'll prune your trees[00:01:34]
Cause I am a boy from[00:01:36]
The home counties[00:01:39]
I don't want your house[00:02:04]
And I don't want your car[00:02:07]
I reckon I'd die if I was like you are[00:02:10]
So spade in my hands[00:02:15]
And mud on my knees[00:02:18]
I am a boy from the home counties[00:02:21]
Spade in my hands[00:02:38]
And mud on my knees[00:02:41]
I am a boy from the home counties[00:02:44]
