about

Very topical song about how the hard working modern man/woman has been let down by the powers that be and bankers alike....and plots his revenge! Great modern rock song with punchy melody and lyrics. Like the rest of the album Outside the Pale the songs contain their originality whilst still sounding classic rock....Very addictive with some great guitar playing too.

lyrics

All Hopes Gone

When I grew up in the town of the rising sun
I had so much to look forward to my life had begun
I had lots and lots of friends and my family
And they were all concerned about what I would be

I enjoyed my time at school and my life in my teens
And I didn't want my life spent tied to machines
So I got my eductation and a college degree
Anything to be the best that I could be

All Hopes gone, All hopes gone

I moved away from town and I found a job
Got myself and wife and worked round the clock
Bought ourselves a house up around the hills
But seemed to spend my time just paying the bills

Next thing I remember I got my self into debt
Easy to remember and so hard to forget
My wife she left with another man
Then I put together my desperate plan

All Hopes Gone, All Hopes gone

The bank they came and took my house away
I didn't have a chance to keep the wolves at bay
Next thing I remember I was out on the streets
Couldn't even stand up straight on my two feet

So I went into town and I bought myself a gun
About to do the wildest thing that I have done
Went into the bank and I stole the loot
The cops pursued me in a high speed pursuit

All Hopes gone, All Hopes gone

So I crossed the county line into New Orleans
The way my life tunred out justified the means
It's a bad thing to do don't get me wrong
But I've always been as honest as the day is long

Adventually I was caught and thrown in jail
I never knew a soul that would pay the bail
Now I'm my cell with the time on my hands
Looking back I never had a fighting chance

All Hopes Gone, All Hopes Gone
