At school we read our history books which told of queens and kings
Of those who sat upon the stage and always pulled the strings
But now those empty pages once hidden from our sight
Are brought out from the darkness and out into the light

So thankyou, Mister Hoskins, I'll raise a glass to you
As from the bigger picture, we find a world that's new
As through a glass seen darkly now standing out so true
A world once out of focus comes clearly into view

Talk not of Pitt or Walpole, of Tory or of Whig
But underneath that roof of straw the smell of hens and pigs
We see through the kaleidoscope and find the daily bread
As you take us to the heartbeat where our forefathers tread

So thankyou, Mister Hoskins, I'll raise a glass to you
As from the bigger picture, we find a world that's new
As through a glass seen darkly now standing out so true
A world once out of focus comes clearly into view

Into those dry statistics, you breathed a heartfelt breath
Those goods and chattels listed, as life melts into death
Among the beans and barley who would not be content
All in the house that Jack built, and left his testament

So thankyou, Mister Hoskins, I'll raise a glass to you
As from the bigger picture, we find a world that's new
As through a glass seen darkly now standing out so true
A world once out of focus comes clearly into view

So thankyou, Mister Hoskins, I'll raise a glass to you
As from the bigger picture, we find a world that's new
As through a glass seen darkly now standing out so true
A world once out of focus comes clearly into view
