[00:14.38]I'm going on the circuit, I'm doing all the clubs
[00:21.83]And I really need a song boys to stir those workers up
[00:29.29]And get their wives to sing it with me just like in the pubs
[00:36.80]When I worked the good old pubs in Stepney
[00:41.92]
[00:44.26]Oh could you knock a line or two together for a friend
[00:51.78]Sentimental tear inducing with a happy end
[00:59.29]And we need a tune to open our season at Southend
[01:06.40]Can you help us
[01:12.01]
[01:14.16]It's hard to write a song with bitter fingers
[01:17.67]So much to prove, so few to tell you why
[01:21.17]Those old die-hards in Denmark Street start laughing
[01:24.13]At the keyboard player's hollow haunted eyes
[01:28.33]It seems to me a change is really needed
[01:31.89]I'm sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das
[01:35.59]No more long days hacking hunks of garbage
[01:38.29]Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars, swinging stars
[01:44.06]
[01:58.77]I like the warm blue flame, the hazy heat it brings
[02:05.85]It loosens up the muscles and forces you to sing
[02:12.86]You know it's just another hit and run from the tin pan alley twins
[02:19.62]
[02:20.22]And there's a chance that one day you might write a standard lads
[02:27.28]So churn them out quick and fast and we'll still pat your backs
[02:34.39]'Cause we need what we can get to launch another dozen acts
[02:41.45]Are you working
[02:47.56]
[02:48.90]It's hard to write a song with bitter fingers
[02:52.45]So much to prove, so few to tell you why
[02:55.86]Those old die-hards in Denmark Street start laughing
[02:58.86]At the keyboard player's hollow haunted eyes
[03:03.12]It seems to me a change is really needed
[03:06.73]I'm sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das
[03:10.28]No more long days hacking hunks of garbage
[03:13.09]Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars, swinging stars
[03:18.85]
[03:19.24]It's hard to write a song with bitter fingers
[03:22.74]So much to prove, so few to tell you why
[03:26.19]Those old die-hards in Denmark Street start laughing
[03:29.00]At the keyboard player's hollow haunted eyes
[03:33.26]It seems to me a change is really needed
[03:36.86]I'm sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das
[03:40.45]No more long days hacking hunks of garbage
[03:43.45]Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars, swinging stars
[03:49.16]
