Hope & Glory Lyrics - To All New Arrivals - Faithless

When I arrive eyes wide fired up 

Tried not to slide and let the side down, Now the 

Planes on the ground. I'll find a good profession, it's 1957 

I've come to the mother land to make a home to put my bed in 

This weather does my head in some people are less than kind... I wish 

Mamma was here so I could unwind... 

But I'm supposed to be the good news, so I lace up these hard black shoes 

And look more work, the streets whenever paved with gold they simply make my feet hurt... they just make my feet hurt... 

Just a little money in my pocket and a little bit left for those I love 

To have enough food on my table and a little bit more for those who call 

In this land of hope and glory 

You'd think there's enough for us all... 

You'd think there's enough for us all

When I arrive eyes wide petrified 

Tried not to cry and let the side down, Now the 

Planes on the ground. Its 20 years later mammas in the arrival lounge 

I take a... few seconds to kiss her... 

Then look around at what's happened to my home town 

What's going on, but papa doesn't look too strong 

Rush home in a cab, windows up, now I hear dad cough 

We gotta get in before they switch the lights and water off 

For the night, I have to get to know the guard dogs, cause they bite 

Progress just pass us by, to the right 

Just a little money in my pocket and a little bit left for those I love 

To have enough food on my table and a little bit more for those who call 

In this land of hope and glory 

You'd think there's enough for us all... 

You'd think there's enough for us all
