Artist/Band: Ian Hunter
Lyrics for Song: Sons And Daughters
Lyrics for Album: Welcome To The Club [1994]



(Ian Hunter)



There's a place in the city they call the Archway

Where we rented three rooms for a dollar a day

and I worked semi-skilled at the capstans for years

And my wife was a good woman but the love disappeared



Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons

When a marriage goes down they're the loneliest ones

Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons

How I hope they can cope with the damage I've done



I found me a band, I went out on tour

So the kids wouldn't know I was with them no more

When they said, "Where's me dad?" She'd say, "He's a star!"

Oh if only stars knew what fools they all are.



Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons

When a marriage goes down they're the loneliest ones

Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons

How I hope they can cope with the damage I've done



I got a new contract, I got a new life

No more capstans for me and I've got a new wife

Sometimes she gets angry, says she wants a family

Then that nightmare returns like a ghost haunting me



Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons

When a marriage breaks up you're the loneliest ones

Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons

How I hope you all cope with the damage we done
