History Will Be Ours

Hey downstairs you'll have had your tea
Hey downstairs, now, come along with me
Now, move on please, there's nothing here to see
And hey, you, keep the bloody noise down
Now then, we've all had our fun
Now then, yes, god bless us every one
It's all going quietly, incidentally rightly
But Hi-Ho! when we give the say so
History will be ours
We sail across the rise and fall of worldly powers
And when we come to find in all the lonely hours
We've left somebody else a mess
Because we could not care less
History, it will be ours
And when we come to write it down in ivory towers
Of how we walked between the raindrops, between the showers
Hey, wouldn't you like to know how?
Oooheehoooh living up the lazy life,
Oooheehoooh living up the lazy life,
We're not clearly half the things we nearly say
Oh, but we didn't say so
We don't care what people say,
Unimportant, must be on our way
If no-one likes us, isn't that a shame
But Hoi Polloi, wouldn't you like to join us?
History will be ours
We sail across the rise and fall of worldly powers
And when we come to find in all the lonely hours
We've left somebody else a mess
Because we could not care less
History, it will be ours
And when we come to write it down in ivory towers
Of how we walked between the raindrops, between the showers
Hey, wouldn't you like to know how?
Oooheehoooh living up the lazy life,
Oooheehoooh living up the lazy life,
Oooheehoooh living up the lazy life,
One more push and...
History will be ours
We sail across the rise and fall of worldly powers
And when we come to find in all the lonely hours
We've left somebody else a mess
Because we could not care less
History, it will be ours
And when we come to write it down in ivory towers
Of how we walked between the raindrops, between the showers
Hey, wouldn't you like to know how?
Hey ho, wouldn't you say so
Hey, ho, what do you know
So hey, ho, don't you want to go?
Living up the lazy life?
Ooheehoooh living up the lazy life

Until the Earth Runs Dry

It’s a long, hard road and it’s further than you know
Bleed until the Earth runs dry
It’s a cruel hard load and we curse it as we go
Bleed until the Earth runs dry
Bleed until the Earth runs dry
All bleed until the Earth runs dry
We’re catching all catch can
And scratchin’ for the man
Bleed until the Earth runs dry
Born to work and die, leave the weary world behind
Bleed until the Earth runs dry
No we can’t say why but we never, never mind
Bleed until the Earth runs dry
Bleed until the Earth runs dry
All bleed until the Earth runs dry
We’re catching all catch can
And scratchin’ for the man
Bleed until the Earth runs dry
So we mump and moan, how we grump and how we groan
Bleed until the Earth runs dry
Through the tax and the toil, through the cracks into the
spoil
Bleed until the Earth runs dry
Bleed until the Earth runs dry
All bleed until the Earth runs dry
Catching all catch can
And a scratchin’ for the man
Bleed until the Earth runs dry
Come to heel, workaday, throw me in the out tray
Bleed until the Earth runs dry
Up a hill all the way and that’s on a good day
Bleed until the Earth runs dry
Bleed until the Earth runs dry
All bleed until the Earth runs dry
We’re catching all catch can
And a scratchin’ for the man
Bleed until the Earth runs dry
