The Empire withdrew its tentacles
And some took a ride
Some folks were left behind
And some people……
Where the streets are paved with sleepers
So you’re never lonesome
Back home I was a deep sleeper
But here the doorways and pockets are deeper
Love’s off the menu when you’re down and out
Gloves off: the menu when you’ve got nowt
From the Emerald Isle to the Emerald City
There ain’t much green and there ain’t no pity
From Soho Square to Gutter Lane
From frying pan to fire and back again
Heaven from pennies, nickels and dimes
I’ve no big issues to sell in these times
Face down into the gutter
We can’t see no stars
A breath of fresh diesel
From the tail end of the cars
Life’s just getting worse
I credit the universe
A kick on the can can be quite detrimental
But hymens are a girl’s best friend
There’s no home like this place
There’s no place like no home
