Hunting the Heart - track 7
Words and music - Pete Morton
There's a woman with a new born baby in her arms and she's dancing in a leather skirt
There's a cover band playing all me favourite songs there's a chap selling replica shirts
There's a man who shakes my hand and he doesn't let go he keeps on telling me he thinks I'm alright
There's some under aged girls who think I'm a policeman walking in and out all night
Chorus
At the Battle of Trafalgar, you can have a few beers
Touch the heart of the world, you feel God lives here
At the Battle of Trafalgar it all comes clear
They'll never clone people like this in a million years
There's a bloke wi' lots o' stubble, who's tryin' not to wobble got a poem goin' on in his head
He tries to speak words but just talks with his eyes then counts the coins in his hand instead
While the woman with the new born baby in her arms she laughs and says the nappy's wet
Surrounded by the family, surrounded by the love of her friends who she'll never forget
Chorus
A bloke walks in and he sits next to me and he tells me all about his life
He talks about the war and the football score and how much he loved his wife
You see the family have gone, you see they've all passed on he's like the last in some glorious line
He stinks o' the drinking and the worn out clothes but he can help me any time
Chorus
So then, I took a look at me holiday brochure I was wonderin' where I'd like to go
When I wondered whether distance ever taught me very much that my heart didn't already know
Then I thought about them actors on a West End stage who are tryin' to create romance
When the woman with the new born baby in her arms She tries to get me up to dance
Chorus x 2
