ฟังเพลงWhen Alexander Met Emma

When Alexander Met Emma - Chumbawamba

When Alexander met Emma

The first day she came to New York

Sach's cafe in Manhattan

Coffee and cigarettes and talk

Sun beating down on the east side

Introductions are made in the haze

Emma meet Alexander

Emma just smiles as she says

Take my hand

I'll take yours

Save my life

I'll save yours

Life stretches loudly before her

From the Bowery to old Suffolk street

The five dollar bill in her pocket

And a world full of people to meet

Ships riggin' up in the Hudson

Waiting for love to set sail

Emma she tells Alexander

I'll be there when you walk from the jail

Take my hand

I'll take yours

Save my life

I'll save yours

Newspaper talk turns to headlines

A love so cemented in fame

A word to the strike breaking bosses

Propaganda in deed and in name

Fourteen long years on the island

It's a lifetime of summers to wait

And Emma she meets Alexander

As they unlock the last prison gate

Take my hand

I'll take yours

Save my life

I'll save yours
