Steve Harley - All In A Life's Work lyrics

Harley The hungry man knows who's to blame, the city boys who know no shame Who justify the things they do with ugly, callous attitude The wind of change it howls outside and makes my pony terrified The greensward in the dust and gloom lies dormant in the afternoon. A hungry man knows what it means He got eyes that see beyond the common dreams It's all in a life's work, all in a life's work. The suitcase left unopened where the ravaged huddled in despair Sit head in hands in dread pursuit of any lie that hints at truth The common saviour, so it goes with hyped-up children in repose And the satisfaction that it cost, the lucky man, the taxman lost. A hungry man knows what it means He got eyes that see beyond the common dreams It's all in a life's work, all in a life's work. It's all in a life's work, all in a life's work. Who knows where the river flows? It wanders on, and on it goes Who sees where the companies and lines of men fall to their knees? The country doctor rambles on in Dylan's dream where life is song Many times you'd kneel and pray, the big battalions stay away. A hungry man knows what it means He got eyes that see beyond the common dreams It's all in a life's work, all in a life's work. It's all in a life's work, all in a life's work.
