ฟังเพลงA Hundred Challenging Things a Boy Can Do

It was a coal town He spent his whole life in a hole in

The ground smashing pieces of earth

He never really saw the sky

It was a hard life But little black rocks make the televisions

Work and put food on the table

Until the unions cast him aside

Now there's a hundred challenging things a boy can do

And you've waved goodbye and held more tears in

Than anyone ever should

And all my sorrows pale to insignificance

That's why I love you

She was in a strange land She taught herself to read

From doing crosswords and hiding her accent

She cast her dreams aside

She had a spark in her eye

She never saw her son on his wedding day

Or our cherry blossoms falling down from the sky

Now there's a hundred challening things a boy can do

And you've waved goodbye and held more tears in

Than anyone ever should

And all my sorrows pale to insignificance

That's why I love you

No coal mines

No not a trace

Now shopping malls take their place

No picket lines

The sacrifice

Dreams overrun

Hopes for a future for her son in Ollerton

Now there's a hundred challenging things a boy can do

And you've waved goodbye and held more tears in

Than anyone ever should

And all my sorrows pale to insignificance

That's why she loves you

A hundred challenging things a boy can do

Wave goodbye

Wave goodbye

A hundred challenging

Say goodbye to you
