Lyrics

Streets In The City 
Living on the streets in the city waiting for the pennies to drop
Sleeping on her own throne doorstep opposite the pizza stop
Her clothes are all tattered she’s battered and worn
On the streets in the city where she knows she can’t fall

Standing in a line every midnight waiting for the soup to roll in
Swapping smelly clothes for some lighters found in a recycle bin
Her eyes are all bloodshot her finger nails brown
On the streets in the city where she knows she won’t drown

No cell phone to carry, no credit card bill 
No long days out shopping for wardrobes to fill
No plans for tomorrow, just like yesterday 
On the streets in the city where she chooses to stay

She walks a million miles every morning, picking up old dog ends to smoke
Working up a thirst like an engine, quenches with a half drunk bloke
Her armpits are sticky her breath wants a mint 
On the streets in the city where she knows every inch 

No cell phone to carry no credit card bill 
No long days out shopping for wardrobes to fill
No plans for tomorrow just like yesterday 
On the streets in the city where she chooses to stay

No cell phone to carry no credit card bill 
No long days out shopping for wardrobes to fill
No plans for tomorrow just like yesterday 
On the streets in the city where she chooses to stay
