[00:00.00] The Poor Sod (2006 Remaster) - Jake Thackray
[00:04.57] Working another man's field
[00:07.72] His only colleague the crawling beetle
[00:11.21] His only neighbour the
[00:13.05] Moorside and the stone wall
[00:17.76] Blind as the blundering mole
[00:21.14] Nothing he did ever came to aught;
[00:24.50] Couple of times that he stole
[00:26.75] He was easily caught
[00:31.22] Poor as the shivering bird
[00:34.44] Seated alone in his cold kitchen
[00:37.92] He sings a snatch of an old
[00:40.36] Song which he once heard
[00:44.72] Under his thin eiderdown
[00:48.06] Thinking of days that
[00:49.61] Have gone before:
[00:51.23] The night years ago in a
[00:53.19] Town he clung to a young whore
[00:58.28] The bramble bush catches his sleeve
[01:01.48] The blackthorn catches his cheekbone;
[01:05.12] When will the North Country
[01:06.59] Leave the poor sod alone
