Story behind the song
Cry Freedom and enjoy the glories of London's Freedom Pass - free travel on buses, trains, underground overground and docklands light railway (&trams!). Written in joyous ZZTop meets Hawkwind style (set to speeded up clips of travel on London's network on Youtube). It's worth getting old for! (steady on...)
Lyrics
01 Freedom (Pass) (3.34)
D7
Take me on a bus or take me on a train
E7
Overground or underground it’s all just the same
F#7 A7
But no matter where you take - don’t try to ask me for the fare
C7 D7
Cos now I’ve got my freedom - I can travel anywhere
F G D
I got my my freedom, freedom - I got my my freedom
Well I can go as far as Hampton Court on British Rail
But if I stick to locasl buses you know It’ll never fail
Throw my car keys away now, I got release
That’s the last speeding ticket I’ll pay to the traffic police
I got my my freedom, freedom - I got my my freedom
You know I’ve done my share of giving , of tax I’ve payed a lot
So be it Ken or Boris, it ain’t never gonna stop
Cos of all that silver power, giving them the votes
Maybe they’ll extend it onto the river boats
I got my my freedom, freedom - I got my my freedom…freedom pass
