All of my life And the old man in the side street he made you smile He waved at us both so we both waved back Down on through Bute Street to the mud of the low tide They tear the old things down my son, but some things stay the same On a Sunday over Cardiff Bay This is one day of our lives On this Sunday over Cardiff Bay Don't you know that I love you All of my life Saw Captain Scott on the Terra Nova Setting sail for open seas So maybe one day when you're older You're gonna come down this way and think of me On a Sunday over Cardiff Bay This is one day of our lives On this Sunday over Cardiff Bay Don't you know that I love you

Let me see the man I love one more time Broken by starvation and poverty While the iron masters sip their wine Young and old together marched for justice But the bayonet and the bullet's what they find "Bread or blood" cried a collier "We've come to far lads to run" But in our Myther town in 1831 They were cut down by the government guns And in the midst of senseless slaughter One soldier wounded in the thigh Who later swore on oath at the trial That Dic Penderyn was not the guy Though he had stood for everything they wanted And rose up with his people on that day It could not have been he that harmed the soldier But some there with a grudge put him away Said they'd stitch him up one day Despite petitions and cries for mercy All that the facts had to say Neither king nor his parliament would listen Even the judge was turned away Hey Lord Melbourne how did you sleep then With all that evidence in your face Well you shot down 24 so why not hang someone? Got to keep those workers in their place He slowly climbs the steps to the gallows pole The last few moments of a life His eyes survey the crowd of gallant Welsh Looking for his wife, he can't see his wife She says, lift me up oh lift me boys Let me see the one I love Lift me up oh lift me boys Let me see the man I love one more time But louder and longer than the sound of guns Is the memory of what was done You can only trample people down for so long Time will show you have not won And long before all this on a hill in Palestine They strung another up they say was a friend of yours and mine Dying in the place of another one But in the morning comes the sun Lift me up oh lift me now Let me see the one I love Lift me up oh lift me now Let me see the one I love one more time

| | | | | ... My cab driver was born in Nebraska And that's where he met his wife Till she passed on there a short time ago Nebraska had been his life They used to vacation in Vegas When he lost her he thought that he would Reach out to friends they had made there And so he settled in the neighbourhood In Vegas, Vegas He says this is the place where it happens This is the place to be found Says everyone's coming from somewhere Trying to turn luck around He's eighty years old and he's smiling A contender in his youth No fading away at the end of a day When the Canyon won't give up the truth There's always Vegas, Vegas I'm walking for miles after sundown Still walking as she rises the same A million angels with stories Blade Runner without the rain I want to cry out I'm so happy But I cry in my dreams I'm so sad 20 cent craps paying low rollers high I figure my chances aren't bad Tonight in Vegas, Vegas I was just ten years old when you got here White suits and the king of pain When I heard that sad voice rumbling, trembling I knew things would never be the same By the time I got here in my forties I asked and they told me you'd gone But I don't buy that for a moment I can still hear you singing that song Viva Las Vegas, Vegas
