===Hey Mr Ferryman version=== | |||
We’re on a drive that’s never over<br> | We’re on a drive that’s never over<br> | ||
To play for a barman and his hateful brother<br> | To play for a barman and his hateful brother<br> | ||

===Glory version=== | |||
Empty bar, dead beer<br> | |||
Monday night's band who play half asleep<br> | |||
But like good husbands, they bring the magic<br> | |||
Not listening to tired feet<br> | |||
Not listening and their song calls like a star<br> | |||
Because with love, it's not too far<br> | |||
Though you know there's no end<br> | |||
There's no end to the road | |||
To shake the room, to fill the air<br> | |||
That's what they have, that's all there is<br> | |||
To sing the song that made you a slave<br> | |||
That takes and takes of the love you made<br> | |||
And the song always finds more than you have, always more<br> | |||
But you know there's no end<br> | |||
There's no end to the road | |||
No matter what, the music's right | |||
To lose the battle, to win the fight | |||
There are soldiers proud who still believe that war is worth the friends they leave | |||
And the song is your answer, right or wrong it don't matter | |||
And we know there's no end | |||
There's no end to the road | |||
There's no end to the road | |||
