Hungry Years (2009 Remastered Version)

Hungry Years (2009 Remastered Version) - Saxon

They came down from the north

To the plough they were scorched

In the footsteps of a man who'd been before

Right up from the street

Came the ranks of unemployed

They'd everything to gain but none to lose

They searched the hungry years

For the triumphs for the tears

It's a chance they had to take

They were waiting for a break

They searched the hungry years

For the triumphs for the tears

Some make it to the stars

Playing rock 'n' roll guitars

They ran into the lights

Into the muse into the fights

The system tried to change and understand them

The business world is deep

For a percentage of the heat

There was magic in their eyes

They couldn't see the lies

They searched the hungry years

For the triumphs for the tears

It's a chance they had to take

They were waiting for a break

They searched the hungry years

For the triumphs for the tears

Some make it to the stars

Playing rock 'n' roll guitars

Some take the fame

And some take the blame

Maybe they will and maybe they won't

Tonight

Ya know the world's another stage

Full of heartache full of rage

The system tried to change and understand them

But the business world is deep

For a percentage of the heat

The magic in their eyes

They watched it slowly die

They searched the hungry years

For the triumphs for the tears

It's a chance they had to take

They were waiting for a break

They searched the hungry years

For the triumphs for the tears

Some make it to the stars

Playing rock 'n' roll guitars

Playing rock 'n' roll guitars

Woo hoo hoo

Yeah yeah yeah yeah hungry years

They've left the hungry years

Woo hoo hoo

Yeah yeah yeah yeah hungry years
