Sons and Daughters (Live at the Hammersmith Odeon, 22 November 1979)

歌詞

(Ian Hunter) There's a place in the city they call the Archway Where we rented three rooms for a dollar a day and I worked semi-skilled at the capstans for years And my wife was a good woman but the love disappeared Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons When a marriage goes down they're the loneliest ones Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons How I hope they can cope with the damage I've done I found me a band, I went out on tour So the kids wouldn't know I was with them no more When they said, "Where's me dad?" She'd say, "He's a star!" Oh if only stars knew what fools they all are. Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons When a marriage goes down they're the loneliest ones Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons How I hope they can cope with the damage I've done I got a new contract, I got a new life No more capstans for me and I've got a new wife Sometimes she gets angry, says she wants a family Then that nightmare returns like a ghost haunting me Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons When a marriage breaks up you're the loneliest ones Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons How I hope you all cope with the damage we done
