Stereophonics - Handbags and Gladrags |
|
Ever seen a blind man cross the road, |
|
Try'na make it to the other side. |
|
Ever seen a young girl growing old, |
|
Try'na 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 poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you. |
|
Once I was a young man, |
|
and all I thought I had to do was smile. |
|
Well you are still a young girl, |
|
and you bought everything in style. |
|
So 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 poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you. |
|
Sing a song of sixpence for your sake |
|
and drink 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 Grandad had to sweat to buy you. |
|
They told me you missed school today, |
|
so what I suggest you just throw them all away. |

The handbags and the gladrags |
