[00:23.57] |
He's had bicycles and sons |
[00:27.89] |
|
[00:29.28] |
He's had salted fish and dark rum |
[00:34.08] |
|
[00:35.21] |
Now his days are almost done |
[00:38.84] |
|
[00:39.56] |
In the Lagos slums |
[00:42.74] |
|
[00:47.23] |
Was a farmer for a while |
[00:51.59] |
|
[00:53.01] |
Growing plantains by the coastline |
[00:57.78] |
|
[00:58.71] |
And some said he had a smile |
[01:03.28] |
Like a movie star |
[01:06.39] |
|
[01:10.90] |
La ah La ah ah ah |
[01:22.66] |
La ah La ah ah ah |
[01:33.91] |
|
[01:34.46] |
Met his wife one Friday night |
[01:38.83] |
|
[01:40.27] |
At a dance hall near the train tracks |
[01:46.21] |
And his heart soared like a kite |
[01:50.63] |
In the evening light |
[01:54.35] |
|
[01:57.96] |
Worked the oil fields once |
[02:02.31] |
|
[02:03.69] |
Saved some money for his family |
[02:08.47] |
|
[02:09.54] |
Built a house near Eden's Point |
[02:14.30] |
Where they raised their boys |
[02:17.35] |
|
[02:21.84] |
La ah La ah ah ah |
[02:33.44] |
La ah La ah ah ah |
[02:45.15] |
Says it's hard to be a man |
[02:49.67] |
|
[02:51.19] |
Works and still can't feed his children |
[02:55.65] |
|
[02:56.98] |
But he does the best he can |
[03:01.47] |
In the New World Plan |
[03:04.66] |
|
[03:09.08] |
We're all forgotten |
[03:19.60] |
|
[03:20.84] |
This road leads nowhere |
[03:31.78] |
|
[03:32.68] |
We're all forgotten |
[03:43.53] |
|
[03:44.49] |
This road leads nowhere |
