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