We’ve Got To Get Out Of This Place (Live, BBC Radio 1, In Concert, 23 April 1975)

Having done this, it now just remains for me to, uh
Ask you to welcome our next guest
A man who really doesn't need any introduction
But uh, it's quite a long while since he was the god of hellfire, friends
Would you welcome please, Mr. Arthur Brown

In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in trying
Now little girl, you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You're gonna die bеfore your time is through
I see my daddy in bed and dying
See his hair turning grеy
He's been working and slaving his life away

Now every morning he would wake up
With his third pointing to his windows from the streets
My love woman tell you one day I promised myself
And that my family ain't gonna go this way
And that's why I'm telling you, honey, oh

We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you

I don't care if you're so young and pretty
But one thing I know is true
You're gonna die before your time is through
See my daddy in bed and dying
See his hair turning grey
He's been working and slaving his life away

And he came home tonight
And he said son, "I've seen such a sight
I've seen the bullets exploding in the square
And there's no need for you to carry on this way
I'm telling you we," ow

We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and
Come, come on, baby
You know it, baby
You know we'll buy our time

Yes, Arthur Brown's back
Complete with an amazing band behind him
And an appropriate one to start there "We Got To Get Out Of This Place
And the comes from Arthur's latest album, which is called the simply "Dance With Arthur Brown" and in fact, that's what we're gonna do right now
