Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, PC, DL, FRS, RA (30 November 1874 – 24 January 1965) was a British statesman who was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, a historian, a writer (as Winston S. Churchill), and an artist. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and was the first person to be made an honorary citizen of the United States.
Churchill was born into the family of the Dukes of Marlborough, a branch of the Spencer family. His father, Lord Randolph Churchill, was a charismatic politician who served as Chancellor of the Exchequer; his mother, Jennie Jerome, was an American socialite. As a young army officer, he saw action in British India, the Sudan, and the Second Boer War. He gained fame as a war correspondent and wrote books about his campaigns.
At the forefront of politics for fifty years, he held many political and cabinet positions. Before the First World War, he served as President of the Board of Trade, Home Secretary, and First Lord of the Admiralty as part of Asquith's Liberal government. During the war, he continued as First Lord of the Admiralty until the disastrous Gallipoli Campaign caused his departure from government. He then briefly resumed active army service on the Western Front as commander of the 6th Battalion of the Royal Scots Fusiliers. He returned to government under Lloyd George as Minister of Munitions, Secretary of State for War, Secretary of State for Air, then Secretary of State for the Colonies. After two years out of Parliament, he served as Chancellor of the Exchequer in Baldwin's Conservative government of 1924–1929, controversially returning the pound sterling in 1925 to the gold standard at its pre-war parity, a move widely seen as creating deflationary pressure on the UK economy.

Genres: Drama,I don't want a place to lay my head, I don't want to get home
I just want to live a little less like I did and find a new road
I don't want to say I'll change again, witho no way to get right
I can never be a better confident, caught up in the daylight
Caught up in the daylight, she said
I just want to feel your heart beat
Kick drumming down my house
I just gotta hear that soul leap
Out of your mouth, out of your mouth
I don't know what went wrong
But you've been gone way too long
Way too long, way too long
After all the pain I put you through and the time you spent waiting
I want to tell you how you've always been my tune, but I don't know how to say it
So take it from the man I used to be and not who you're seeing
Returning to the people that we want to be if we only believe it
But I just don't believe it
I just want to feel your heart beat
Kick drumming down my house
I just gotta hear that soul leap
Out of your mouth, out of your mouth
I don't know what went wrong
But you've been gone way too long
Way too long, way too long
I just want to feel your heart beat
Kick drumming like you love me
Oh, I'll be waiting for you
Oh, I'll be waiting for you
Oh, will your soul make way for me?
Oh, I'll be waiting
I just want to feel your heart beat
Kick drumming down my house
I just gotta hear that soul leap
Out of your mouth, out of your mouth
I don't know what went wrong
But you've been gone way too long
Way too long, way too long
I just want to feel your heart beat
Kick drumming like you love me
