Lyrics

1404

This country, it could've changed A little bit of the world, you said I may have told you this before I could have been the king of Wales Maybe we were doomed to fail But you came and destroyed everything Still looking for the question mark At least we've not yet reached the full stop At least we've not yet reached the full stop But 1404 got left behind And we were trapped and stuck in time We had it all, we had our smiles And 1404 got left behind If R. S. Thomas was compulsory And Saunders Lewis was for free Glyndŵr taught our history And Dylan kept the memories And Dylan kept the memories But 1404 got left behind And we were trapped and stuck in time We had it all, we had our smiles And 1404 got left behind This country, it could've changed A little bit of the world, you said I may have told you this before I could have been the king of Wales
