《Home Counties Boy》歌词

[00:00:00] Home Counties Boy - Martin Newell

[00:00:24] When I was young

[00:00:27] Dark were the trees

[00:00:30] Houses are now where

[00:00:32] There once were fields

[00:00:35] And summers were long

[00:00:37] The trains ran on steam

[00:00:41] I was a boy from the home counties

[00:00:46] And don't drop your aitches

[00:00:49] My mum said to me

[00:00:51] If you want a job where your

[00:00:55] Hands will be clean

[00:00:57] But there was no way

[00:01:00] I'd dress in grey

[00:01:03] And go up to London to earn my pay

[00:01:09] Having to say thank you and please

[00:01:14] I was a boy from the home counties

[00:01:20] And now I'm as free as

[00:01:22] The times let me be

[00:01:25] And no one's the guv'nor apart from me

[00:01:31] So I'll mow your lawn or

[00:01:34] I'll prune your trees

[00:01:36] Cause I am a boy from

[00:01:39] The home counties

[00:02:04] I don't want your house

[00:02:07] And I don't want your car

[00:02:10] I reckon I'd die if I was like you are

[00:02:15] So spade in my hands

[00:02:18] And mud on my knees

[00:02:21] I am a boy from the home counties

[00:02:38] Spade in my hands

[00:02:41] And mud on my knees

[00:02:44] I am a boy from the home counties
