[Verse 1]
D A Em G
First day of April 1963, Mother fell in the lap of luxury
D A Em G
Still tells of the day they handed her the keys, 2nd floor palace the long balconies
D A Em G
They did a little dealing in the shade, still of the cops & priests they were afraid
D A Em G
They hung their washing out there on parade, when there was good drying
[Chorus]
Bm D A G
Nothing was spared, what they had they shared, they kept their worries to themselves
A G
They knit the community of the long balconies
[Verse 2]
D A Em G
Days they were rough but no one got upset, our little homes immaculately kept
D A Em G
The accent was flat & of that we were proud but only as much as our poverty allowed
D A Em G
Woke Sunday morning by a jobless anger after Saturday evening down the Black & Amber
D A Em G
Two scruffy young’f’llas belting out folk standards, they sang their hearts out
[Chorus]
Bm D A G
No-one was scared, what we had we shared, we kept our troubles to ourselves
A G
We lit the community of the long balconies
[Instrumental]
D A Em G
D A Em G
[Verse 3]
D A Em G
Whether by flaw or design I suspect, they let our kingdom fall in to neglect
D A Em G
The promises broke, the second we had voted, they said that they cared but had another motive
D A Em G
So that the high-tech hadn't far to venture, they need homes beside the city centre
D A Em G
We watched our neighbours slowly disappear & we cried our eyes out
[Chorus]
Bm D A G
We became scared, what we had they shared, they had it sewn up for themselves
A G
They split the community of the long balconies
A G
But we had a dream you see in the long balconies
A G D
To never have to leave, leave the long balconies
[Outro]
A Em G
leave the long balconies
D A Em G D
leave the long balconies
