KNOCKING DOWN OUR HOME (Pete Ham)
[electric guitar demo from "Without You, The Tragic Story of Badfinger (2nd edition)" CD]

I heard the news today

They're going to move us far away

Seems that our house must go

They're going to build a motorway


It isn't fair, nobody cares

They're knocking down our home

Ruining all we own

They're knocking down our home

Please help us

Don't let them take our home


Ma's cooking at the stove

Where she's cooked for thirty years

Ten thousand meals she's cooked

But now her eyes are filled with tears


It isn't fair, nobody cares

They're knocking down our home

Ruining all we own

They're knocking down our home

Please help us

Don't let them take our home


Dad's digging out the back

But won't be digging anymore

No flowers or cabbage patch

'Cos he'll be on the seventh floor


It isn't fair, nobody cares

They're knocking down our home (they're knocking down our home)

Ruining all we own

They're knocking down our home

Please help us

Don't let them take our home

Don't let them take our home

Don't let them take our home.
