Rag and Bone Songtext

von Nigel Brown

You get no sympathy
It doesnt bother me
Its just city life
Its not a mystery I
Need to unfold

And when the summers gone
I'll still be hanging on
In my breaking home
Like a rag and bone man
Thats what I am

Waking from your dream of warm company
Alcohol does fade into the light of day
Opening your eyes to the cars rolling by
The street sweepers wise
Cold concrete cradles you

And your society
Has been no friend to me
And I've been put away
Like the world was ashamed
Out of the frame

I hear the traffic spray
Beneath this motorway
In my pallet dome
Like a king all alone
This is sweet home

Waking from your dream of warm company
Alcohol does fade into the light of day
Opening your eyes to the cars rolling by
The street sweepers wise
Cold concrete cradles you
