Lyrics for Triangle
A song for all who've tried and lost A sad and bitter tale You can succeed your whole life long But some folks always fail So we all know we have to die The thought is full of pain You make the grave a last farewell Your life has been in vain So sorry teacher, but I don't know the things You made me learn for today We've got ten kids at home That live in the room although My daddy's gone away This is the last time You have had your chance Don't you believe that I'm a fool Keep it cool There's nothing for the time Please take your books, I'd like To see you leave that school Where is the holdin' hand That guides me into the land With a friendly sky Oh, so why I'd like to see you leave that school Where is the holdin' hand That guides me into the land With a friendly sky Oh, so why Mine is the road to nowhere No sign, no light to guide me Who could describe my anger When I was sacked last Friday? Everything looked so fine Starting at six in the morning Work was alright and I thought This is a new life's dawning Some were Last week I was called to the foreman He said: "You're a dirty bloke Don't lie, I'm sure you took the money We collected for your old man's death" So I stood in the door with a tear and I felt confused I was charged for a crime, feeling sad to have no proof Walking out in the night on a dark and empty street Got no home, want to drink 'til I can't stand on my feet Hello, I'd like a double dimple Good and strong, running down my throat Let's drink, everything's simple Spend my money, even sell my coat There I sit in the corner and watch my empty glass All my hang-ups are gone and I'm feeling fine at last Walking out in the night on a dark and empty street Where is home? I'm so tired and want to go to sleep Waking up in the morning, the sun is shining high Find myself in the garden, see people passing by Morning came on the hills, smell of snow was in the air Saw the sun rising up, felt the warmth of a new-born day I feel like dying, I never had a chance to prove, just to lose And so the race is run, my new life has begun, I stay on the road And losing rats, give me a fag Some of my old friends warned me They said: "You'll never break the chain That keeps us all apart from the other society" Mine is the road to nowhere, no sign of light to guide me Who could describe my anger when I was sacked last Friday? Hello, I'd like a double dimple Good and strong, running down my throat Let's drink, everything's simple Spend my money, even sell my coat There I sit in the corner and watch my empty glass All my hang-ups are gone and I'm feeling fine at last Walking out in the night on a dark and empty street Where is home? I'm so tired and want to go to sleep
