Genesis - Eleventh Earl Of Mar слова песни
The sun had been up for a couple of hoursIt covered the ground with a layer of goldSpirits were high and the raining had stoppedThe larder was low, but boy that wasn`t allEleventh Earl of MarCouldn`t get them very farDaddy! Oh Daddy, you promisedOut on the road in the direction of PerthBackwards and forwards in a circle they wentFound a city half open and ready to greetThe conquering heroes, with blisters on their feetEleventh Earl of MarSomehow got them all this farDaddy! You promised, you promisedSee the Stewart all dressed upHe`s got eyes in the back of his headWho came in a cockleshell boatThat could only just floatCouldn`t even lift a swordDressed too fine and smelling of wineDaddy you`ve got to doHere comes the bishop all dressed upHe`s gonna bless you if you`re ready to payOne wave of his funny old stickThere`s a band of light across your eyesWaited a week still they hadn`t appearedThat glorious timing that everyone fearedSo they`re riding along on the crest of a waveThey`re headed for London, and that will be their graveEleventh Earl of MarWell he couldn`t get them down that farDaddy! I`m waiting, I`m waitingTime to go to bed nowNever seems too keenTo be a guest nowIn a house of dreamsFlying from a hillsideBeckoning the treesA sailboat`s awningMimicking the breezeI`m fighting gravity fallingMy Daddy won`t let them get meA voice screams seems to be callingThe face turns features are burningDaddy, you`ve got to doSee the fifteen going byTell the Lairs and the LordsThey`re running backwards todayAnd once again you stand aloneBury your memories bury your friendsLeave it alone for a year or twoTill the stories go hazy and the legends come trueThen do it again, some things never endEleventh Earl of MarWon`t be going very farYou promised, you promised, you promisedDADDY!
