Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet boy 'Cause the summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the street boy Hey think the time is right for a palace revolution Where I live the game to play is just to compromise my solution What can a poor boy do except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band 'Cause you see bein' London town there's just no other place for a street fighting man Hey did I tell you that my name was called disturbance And I'll shout and scream and I'll kill the king and I'll rail at all his servants What can a poor boy do except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band 'Cause you see bein' London town there's just no place for a street fighting man Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet boy 'Cause the summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the street boy What can a poor boy do except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band 'Cause you see bein' London town there's just no other place for a street fighting man |

I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days I'll say goodbye to Colorado Where I was born and prob'ly raised Your mother says I am a stranger My face you'll never see no more But there's one promise darling I'll see you on God's golden shore Through this open world I'm about to ramble Through ice, snow, sleet and rain I am about to rob the mornin' railroad Perhaps I'll die on that train I'm goin' back to Colorado Place that I started from If I'd knowed how bad you'd treat me Honey I never would have come |

I was born and raised the only son of a lawyer
'Til I was approximately the age of four or perhaps five I lost both my mother and my father Killed in a fire way up on the fourteenth floor Struck down by the time I was ten by an illness Which robbed me of the sight of the morning sun And that ain't all A homeless child for the next five years With my dog clown by my side and my only friend Yeah, yeah, yeah. I fought my way through school Sound and touch the thing on which I could depend And you know what the, the, the kids Down my street weren't too playful And right then it seemed like the whole world picked on me And ah yeah I worked my fingers to the bone Stretchin' hide for a boot man in Jersey Town But then, but then I lost the last thing I had When fate reared its ugly head and took my dog clown I wandered way up north found a girl that loved like a woman Sixteen years old and felt like a woman But, but, but, but, but what I'm trying to say is God please don't take her away from me I lost everything that I ever had You kicked my name into the dirt Tread my name into the dirt yeah I lost everything that I ever had You kicked my name into the dirt What could I do I never knew how much love could hurt me But it never ever come my way before No, no, no, no, no I never knew how much love could hurt me Good God it ain't never come my way before Oh but, but you know what I'm trying to say Really what I'm trying to say is God please don't take her away from me Ah turn it down I lost everything that I ever had You kicked my name into the dirt You got a lotta lotta lost everything That I ever had ever had |

Ever seen a blind man cross the road trying to make the other side Ever seen a young girl growing old trying to make herself a bride So what becomes of you my love When they have finally stripped you of The handbags and the gladrags That your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy Baby Once I was a young man and all I thought I had to do was smile You are still a young girl and you bought everything in style Listen But once you think you're in you're out 'cause you don't mean a single thing without the handbags and the gladrags that your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy Sing a song of six-pence for your sake And take a bottle full of rye Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake And bake them all in a pie They told me you missed school today So what I suggest you just throw them all away the handbags and the gladrags that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy They told me you missed school today So I suggest you just throw them all away the handbags and the gladrags that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy ya |

Did you ever stand and shiver while looking at a freezing river Have you froze to the bone with just a coat to keep you warm to keep you from a howlin' wind to keep you from a howlin' wind Now listen Have you perished in the drizzling rain Tried to light ... a lift but all in vain With your sock on your head and that old coat on your back to keep you from the drizzlin' rain oh to keep you from the drizzlin' rain Goodbye One more time Did you sleep in a graveyard when it snowed Laid your head on a ..... With the Times on your face and that old coat on your back That kept you from a-withering away good God It just kept you from a-withering away I know And did you ride a lift on a steam train Now listen Had the misfortune not to pay your fare Thrown off the next stop Thrown in the doorway of a shop With that coat to keep you from the wind Oh that old school coat to keep you from the wind And that ain't all Have you had some good friends on the road with ya who'd stand by you through thick and thin Here's to Kevin and Ben, Susie and Len And that coat which never lets you down It never, never, never lets you down It never, never, never lets you down That old coat which never lets you down That old coat which never lets you down Kept me from the drizzlin' rain And oh, kept me from the drizzlin' rain |

I wouldn't change a thing if I could live it all again
Ah listen It's funny you know when you sit down And think about what you had About the friends you used to know What happened, where did they all go Can you remember happy hours Spent drinkin' and thinkin' We thought we could change the world And we never, never, never, never, never Never thought we could get much older then We were the ones who loved to love the right to love We'd bring it on home with the right song Played at the right time What happened to the girl that you loved once and left Young man did you break her heart Did she live, and did she marry, Did she ever think on your face again Ah now hold on a minute I wouldn't change a thing if I could live it all again Ah yeah I think what you say is all so right But I find it hard to jog my memories Don't worry Lou you may never get another chance yeah Yes I think what you say is all so right But I find it hard to move my memories Say it again with a lot more feelin' And I think what you say is all so right But I find it hard to find my memories Don't sing so serious you make me feel so sad But if I was true to myself I would probably find it was a tear in my eye That stopped me from believing you Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry don't worry You know my tongue gets tired When I think back on all of the things we do But I wonder if I'll remember these few precious things As years pass me by Ah when young bodies that've grown older And mind's become dimmer I'll point the finger back in time I said I wouldn't change a thing if I could If I could, if I could live it all again, yeah |

Found my love by the gaswork croft
Dreamed a dream by the old canal Kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town, dirty old town I heard a siren from the dock Saw a train set the night on fire Smelled the spring on the sulfured wind Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town We're goin' to take a good sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire And we'll chop you down like an old dead tree Dirty old town, dirty old town Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town And oh we'll chop you down Oh, dirty, dirty, dirty old town Dirty old town, dirty old town And oh whoa-oh dirty old town Chop you down one of these days |
