Land of Hope and Glory - Rehearsal 28/4/79

Good evening
No
Limes, pulp and sausages
Erase it, Land of Hope and Glory

Attention

Bridges
Sharkey (yes, sir)
And Nutley
Jackson (hey, now)
Thompson and Master (remember)

Well, as you can see
We've got a new recruit
To this land of hope and glory

Hands behind backs
And legs apart
And tell all of your unfortunate story

Who, me, sir?
Yes, you, sir

I was an innocent man
'Til someone grassed me of a plan
Of earning some big money

Oh, hadn't I mouthed it about
I am sure, without doubt
I'd 'ave missed this land of hope and glory
Yes, my lad

Well, you poor, poor sod
Here you're up, sharp at 6:30 a.m.
Cold shower down to breakfast
Can't have you looking dirty

I suggest you eat what's given you
Even if it doesn't agree with you
'Cause it's all
You're be getting up until 12:30 a.m.

In between this time
Stay up in your room
Where you can dream of life
Good things

Two years of my teen age life
Given to this stand to attention life
A land of hope and glory

I get so bored as time goes by
I think I'll do something dirty
I pick at the floor for juicy butts
And I'll make myself a smoke
A bog roll and envelope, stick it
All this helps to pass my time

As the evening drags on
You can watch a little telly
Hot Gossip pans people
With a little bit of belly

A hot drink served cold
With the heat of yesterday's
Don't complain, learn the game
And I'll get through another day

I watch the second hand on the clock
At long last is 9:30 p.m.
Off to bed, straight to sleep
As I leave this land of hope and glory

But only for a few seconds
That I'm in ecstasy
Before the bell rings to let me know
Sharp at 6:30 a.m.
