Children be still,

Children,

Lace curtains drawn,

For self respect

Ripped down and torn

Now the neighbours will never forget

Don't let them forget

Time gets hard, men get harder still

Still

A crack in the pane

The gab between

Those who remain

And those who have been

I am cracked, i'm scratched

But you were just one thing

One thing stays the same



Time gets hard, men get harder still

I will be still

I will be still

Time gets hard, men get harder still

Harder still



Children

Time gets hard, men get harder still



Birthday present

From the rag and bone shop

A heart that works too well

A heart that won't stop

Beating

Though sometimes i wish it would stop

Stop



Time gets hard, men get harder still

I will be still

Time gets hard, men get harder still

Harder still

Be still

Harder still

Time gets hard, men get harder still

Harder still

Time gets hard, men get harder still

Harder still

Children

Harder

Still

Children

Harder

Still

I will be still
