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
