"Hope"

Here comes Tommy and he's late again
Whose that's leaving with his new girlfriend
I'd bet he's only met her and he doesn't even know her name
He doesn't mind, he says it's just for now
And he's not taking any marriage vows
So why don't we have a good time any place any how?

From what I see there's still a little hope
That's if we don't hang from too much rope

Oh Dear, I'd like a boy from the housing estate
High on hope and dreaming all this game
Know's he's on his own got to get out 'fore it gets too late
He's looking good, the best seen for days
He's tellin' people how he's changed his way
He's given up drinkin' and he's down to three smokes a day

From what I see there's still a little hope
That's if we don't hang from too much rope
From what I see there's still a little hope
That's if we don't hang from too much rope

Hey Tommy, how ya feeling up there
You're looking good with the cork-screw hair
And in you're best khaki to your suit
Tellin' everybody all about the crocodile boots
Told 'em you can't lose

A social mover always in the right places
Got all the contacts knows the latest faces
Got the flavour of it, now it's walkin' in other taste
But every night he gets the urge to go West
And now it's party he's a V.I.P guest
He loves the life he leads and he leads the life he loves best

From what I see there's still a little hope
That's if we don't hang from too much rope
From what I see there's still a little hope
That's if we don't hang from too much rope

From what I see there's still a little hope
That's if we don't hang from too much rope
From what I see there's still a little hope
That's if we don't hang from too much rope
