Song For A Family - Inspiral Carpets

See the man in the corner of the tap room

The froth from the beer is on his lip

And it’s rose-coloured where the skin is glowing

And the domino is at his fingertip

And he prays each night that his family’s alright

And he’s got work

See the lollipop lady by the roadside

Some days, the kids are so hard to control

But they bring her lots of presents on her birthday

And their little faces make her feel so old

And she prays each night that her family’s alright

And she’s got work

STRANGE AS IT MAY SEEM, WE ALL PRAY FOR SIMPLE THINGS

STRANGERS SHARE YOUR DREAMS, WHO KNOWS WHAT THEIR PRAYERS WILL BRING?

LOVE AND HEALTH IS ALL, TIL YOU FALTER IN YOUR STEPS AND FALL

WE ALL LIVE ON DREAMS

See the lad on the Saturday terraces

With his collar pulled up around his chin

His side is two goals down and playing lousy

But he still believes his team is gonna win

And he prays each night that his family’s alright

And he’s got work

STRANGE AS IT MAY SEEM, WE ALL PRAY FOR SIMPLE THINGS

STRANGERS SHARE YOUR DREAMS, WHO KNOWS WHAT THEIR PRAYERS WILL BRING?

LOVE AND HEALTH IS ALL, TIL YOU FALTER IN YOUR STEPS AND FALL

WE ALL LIVE ON DREAMS

STRANGE AS IT MAY SEEM, WE ALL PRAY FOR SIMPLE THINGS

STRANGERS SHARE YOUR DREAMS, WHO KNOWS WHAT THEIR PRAYERS WILL BRING?

LOVE AND HEALTH IS ALL, TIL YOU FALTER IN YOUR STEPS AND FALL

WE ALL LIVE ON DREAMS
