Archie
Leach
David Brown
This is my town, my ground, my corner
With everything and nothing that I need
Past life is dead and I join the mourners
Drinking to the memory of what might have been (Last orders
please)
Horfield to Hollywood
A different destiny
I wear the pants of Cary Grant
But I was born to be Archie Leach
Black and white lives have
a glamour filter
A timeless elegance and cool
Everyone was a hero because of Hitler
Dissatisfaction the exception not the rule (We were happy
then)
Horfield to Hollywood
A different destiny
I wear the pants of Cary Grant
But I was born to be Archie Leach
Stars were bigger
There is no doubt
They used to shine and glitter
Now they just come out
There’s a sense of loss, a sense
of longing
A need for magic in the mundane
I feel it in the people thronging
To a galaxy far, far away (It is your destiny)
Horfield to
Hollywood
A different destiny
I wear the pants of Cary Grant
But I was born to be Archie Leach |
