The Great Depression Song

I lost all my hope

The freezing north wind is so damn cold

as the factories close,

workers go back home,

calls to buy stocks on margin,

and all its sad goodbyes,

I’m never gonna work again,

my wife and children got no shelter,

wandering on the lonely street,

The tear went down from my face

I should have known better than to buy a stock,

and waste all money I’ve been earning,

so I’m never gonna work again,

the way I lived ten years ago.

time can never mend,

the huge damage

of the depression,

to the Britain and France,

reparation is kind,

there is no comfort in the truth,

pain is all you’ll find

I’m never gonna work again,

my wife and children got no shelter,

wandering on the lonely street,

The tear went down from my face

I should have known better than to buy a stock,

and waste all money I’ve been earning,

so I’m never gonna work again,

the way I lived ten years ago.

Yesterday all my glory,

they are all faded away,

I’ve been so hard for all my life,

but they are all gone tonight,

for all the people live in my heart,

I cannot just give it all up

I have to work even though it’s too hard, just for my child and my wife

Heart is there, then dream is there, there must be jobs between ground and sky

To achieve success, to lead a good life, just to start over again.

(歌曲选自《Careless whisper》与《从头再来》)
