Il Bollocks Povero

Lyrics

[Verse]
In a dark alley walks the poor bollocks
Shadows chase him like pestilent phantoms
His coat is worn
But his spirit it mocks
Life’s cruel grip he continually counters

[Verse 2]
With a sigh he faces the glaring moon
Whispers to stars tales of eternal gloom
His shoes are tattered his heart a monsoon
Yet still he dreams to dance in an old ballroom

[Chorus]
Oh poor bollocks brave heart where do you lie?
In the tempest of fate or empty sky?
Against the storm with tears you'll never cry
Through the desert of loss
You still will fly

[Verse 3]
The market bustles with gold and deceit
Yet his presence brings silence so complete
His dreams are broken yet he will compete
Against a world yet he’ll not concede defeat

[Bridge]
Oh hear the hardships that his heart has braved
He fights with shadows; with chains
He's enslaved
Yet in his dreams
He rises
Ever saved
A hero in his destitute enclave

[Chorus]
Oh poor bollocks brave heart where do you lie?
In the tempest of fate or empty sky?
Against the storm with tears you'll never cry
Through the desert of loss
You still will fly
