[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
