Fury In The Slaughterhouse – Grey November Day lyrics

As far as I know
It was a grey November day,
In 1959 when it began
My mum used to wash
All my tears away
Trying to protect her little son
I was supposed to be a doctor
I was supposed to be a man
Who works hard for the government
Hard 磘il the very end
I was supposed to be a banker
I was supposed to be a whore
Then music came, heaven sent
Became my only friend
My love and my helping hand
And it never let me down

It磗 been a long way
From that grey november, grey november day
磘il today
From that grey november day

Then dad disappeared
I dried my mummy磗 tears
Fought against my fears and lost my way
Ten years ago
My daughter said : hello
Hope started to grow
Day by day
I was supposed to be a loser
I was supposed to be a clown
Who drowned in the summer rain
Jumped off the running train
I was supposed to be a popstar
I was supposed to be a jerk
Who doesn磘 know where he's coming from
A singer without a song
No clue how to get along
But they were all wrong

It磗 been a long way..........

I was supposed to be a doctor
I was forced to heal myself
It felt good in the summer rain
Free and without a pain
I was supposed to be a loser
But I never lost myself
In this forest of memories
I started to climb the trees
Not a single one磗 too high

As far as I know
It was a grey november day
In 1959 when it began
I still dream of dad
Who sits next to the sun
And I hope he sees his son
Walk on
