lyrics

Ten pence, cuppa tea, thanks guv I can see
you’re a real gent
People look at me, don’t like what they see,
hate the life that I’ve spent

And I freeze!

Come take a peep, see where we sleep
Come sample what the world is like out on the street
We once had lives, we paid the rent
But now we’re all of us the world’s forgotten men

With the down & outs I go walkbout
begging all I can get
All those men in suits, holding down their roots,
one thing they all resent

Is I’m free!

Come take a peep, see where we sleep
Come sample what the world is like out on the street
We once had lives, we paid the rent
But now we’re all of us the world’s forgotten men

We didn’t ask to be living in luxury
but neither did we ask for this
Can’t look us in the eye coz you all realise
anyone could come to this

Still I freeze!

Come take a peep, see where we sleep
Come sample what the world is like out on the street
We once had lives, we paid the rent
But now we’re all of us the world’s forgotten men
