lirik lagu martyn joseph - albert's place
[verse 1]
with head bowed low she walks on through her city
as the rain seeps through the only coat she owns
but on high street west there’s a place
a place she knows
[verse 2]
some days it won’t take much at all
you can fall down just a semitone
but it’s enough to make you fold
and break your soul
[chorus]
and albert’s place has seen it all
the meat and coal when the big ships called
but maybe now its greatest day of all
brings tea and a cup of love
tea and a cup of love
[verse 3]
see the pensioner and the veteran
the unemployed, the homeless and the lost
the abused, misused, refused
gathered here
[verse 4]
but you’ll be surprised at who’s beside you
a businessman just wants to feed his kids
a nurse ashamed to cross that line
but arms welcome her
[chorus]
and albert’s place has seen it all
the meat and coal when the big ships called
but maybe now its greatest day of all
brings tea and a cup of love
tea and a cup of love
[instrumental break]
[verse 5]
it’s tattooed across his forearm
it’s a promise set in his skin
of the days that tried to destroy him
but albert let him in
room at the inn
[bridge]
and the measure of a country’s prosperity
is not the wealth that it holds
but in the absence of poverty
and equal opportunity for us all
[chorus]
and albert’s place has seen it all
the meat and coal and the big ships tall
but maybe now its greatest moment of all
brings tea and a cup of love
clothes and a cup of love
shelter and furniture and a cup of love
humanity in a cup of love
[verse 1]
with head bowed low she walks on through her city
as the rain seeps through the only coat she owns
but on high street west there’s a place
a place she knows
