V1:
â¦And he sets down his plastic bag
Amongst the rubbish and
He ties up his hooded top
And puts his head down for the night
V2:
But heâll be lucky if he gets any sleep
Because the sirens tend to moan
And the old man lying across from him
Is as cold as in stone
Refrain: | x3 || x1
V3:
All he needs is a little love
And a cup of tea to keep him warm
But sure as day we all walk past
Weâll never notice when heâs gone
V4:
He was once a bright young boy
With the whole world at his feet
But cirtance has let him down
And now heâs on the street
V5:
Street life isnât easy
Itâs no fun being all alone
We should think of that when weâre walking past
And heâs lying cold as stone
Refrain to fade
