Saxon - Hungry Years Lyrics
They came down from the north
To the plough they were forged
On the traces of a man who'd been before
Right up from the street
Came the ranks of unemployed
They searched the hungry years
For the triumphs by the fears
There's a chance they had to take
They were waiting for a break
They searched the hungry years
For the triumphs by the fears
Some make it to the stars
Playing rock and roll guitars
Playing rock and roll guitars
They read under the lights
To the jews and to the whites
The systems gonna change and understand them
The business world is deep
For a percentage of the heat
There was magic in the eyes
They couldn't see the lies
They watched it slowly die
They searched the hungry years
For the triumphs by the fears
There's a chance they had to take
They were waiting for a break
They searched the hungry years
For the triumphs by the fears
Some make it to the stars
Playing rock and roll guitars
Playing rock and roll guitars
Some take the fame
And some take the blame
Maybe they will and maybe they won't
Tonight...
They read under the lights
To the jews and to the whites
The systems gonna change and understand them
The business world is deep
For a percentage of the heat
There was magic in the eyes
They couldn't see the lies
They watched it slowly die
They searched the hungry years
For the triumphs by the fears
There's a chance they had to take
They were waiting for a break
They searched the hungry years
For the triumphs by the fears
Some make it to the stars
Playing rock and roll guitars
Playing rock and roll guitars

Saxon Hungry Years Comments
Smashed this song daily when I moved away from England as a young lad. The hungry years. That's exactly what they were. Thanks Saxon.

Great Band from "NWBOHM" 🎵🎼🎶🎤🎸😎👊
J ai 50 ans je reste un fan inconditionnel depuis mes 14 ans
C'est bien ça. Je pensais que c'était que nous les anglo saxon qui aimait cette musique.
SAXONNNNNNNNNN
Never get tired of hearing this tune, 👍🏻💪🏻
Saxon is the best
It was never considered cool to like saxon fuck knows why? When I seen em at the royal court Liverpool 84 I was hooked makes me smile thinking back to that one
Is right Scott. I'm not the only scouser into Saxon.
allways a saxon. fan allways.
saxon is one of best bands to come out of the uk and still are.
Had this on the ep boss riff.
People don't know about SAXON, good we have them all to ourselves!!!
Damn right!
monster riff!!
One of the most underrated bands in rock history. Maiden, Priest, et al knew how good they were. Too bad more people didn't know it as well. Saxon fucking Jams! Instead we had to suffer through bands like poison and bon joki. Well I didn't. I knew what really rocked. there name is fucking Saxon.
+Soxruleyanksdrool Very underrated band.Should have been a lot bigger.
Although I disagree about Poison and Bon Jovi.But NWOBHM is still one of the most exciting times for rock/metal.
You nailed it for sure! These guys were one of the gods of NWOBHM
Totally agree !!
I don't think any band had the guitar or drum work like Saxon!
Beautiful years.................
