Rows of lights in a circle of steel |
| [00:21.500] |
Where you place your bets on a great big wheel |
| [00:27.000] |
High windows flickerin' down through the snow |
| [00:32.500] |
A time you know |
| [00:34.500] |
Sights and sounds of the people goin' 'round |
| [00:38.000] |
Everybody's in step with the season |
| [00:44.500] |
A child is born to a welfare case |
| [00:48.500] |
Where the rats run around like they own the place |
| [00:53.500] |
The room is chilly, the building is old |
| [00:59.000] |
That's how it goes |
| [01:01.000] |
The doctor's found on his welfare round |
| [01:05.000] |
And he comes and he leaves on the double |
| [01:11.000] |
Deck The Halls was the song they played |
| [01:15.000] |
In the flat next door where they shout all day |
| [01:20.000] |
She tips her gin bottle back till it's gone |
| [01:25.500] |
The child is strong |
| [01:27.500] |
A week, a day, they will take it away |
| [01:31.000] |
For they know about all her bad habits |
| [01:44.000] |
Christmas dawns and the snow lets up |
| [01:48.000] |
And the sun hits the handle of her heirloom cup |
| [01:52.500] |
She hides her face in her hands for a while |
| [01:57.500] |
Says look here child |
| [01:59.700] |
Your father's pride was his means to provide“ |
| [02:04.000] |
And he's servin' three years for that reason“ |
| [02:10.000] |
Rows of lights in a circle of steel |
| [02:14.000] |
Where you place your bets on a great big wheel |
| [02:19.000] |
High windows flickerin' down through the snow |
| [02:24.500] |
A time you know |
| [02:26.500] |
Sights and sounds of the people goin' 'round |
| [02:29.800] |
Everybody's in step with the season |
