Lyrics Cherry Ghost

Cherry Ghost

Alfred The Great

15th heir to the ball and chain

House full of hungry kids to his name

Everything to lose and nothing to gain

Long reign Alfred the Great

Touched his toes down the company store

Scrubbed till he see his face in the floor

Lost his place to a foot in the door

Long reign Alfred the Great

He never been too good with words oh no

Said you don't need a Doctor you don’t need a Doctor to

show

It's a hard, hard road

When your folks ain't cracked the code

And your tears don't put food on the plate, Alfred the

Great watch out

Ever get the feeling you been stitched up?

Textbook case of bad, bad luck

There's a hole in your bucket and cracks in your cup

Long reign Alfred the Great

Touched his toes down the company store

Scrubbed till he see his face in the floor

He ain't gonna dance for the suits no more

Long reign Alfred the Great

He never been too good with words oh no

Said you don't need a Doctor you don’t need a Doctor to

show

It's a hard, hard road

When your folks ain't cracked the code

And your tears don't put food on the plate, Alfred the

Great watch out

It's a hard, hard road

When your folks ain't cracked the code

And your tears don't put food on the plate, and the

rent won't wait, oh no

It's a hard, hard road

When your folks ain't cracked the code

And your tears don't put food on the plate, Alfred the

Great watch out

Food on the plate, Alfred the Great watch out
