Wait a moment yet
|
Have a cigarette
|
We can stand out here on the pavement
|
|
There's a young man near
|
With the same idea
|
And a half-drunk beer as payment
|
|
But we turn his offer down
|
Give him a light and watch him frown
|
As he weaves his way back round
|
Into the crowd
|
|
Many years ago that was us, I know
|
When they said this place was dying
|
But just look now, look all around
|
If you squint, you'd swear it was thriving
|
|
Now it's we who are in decline
|
Like the old shipyards and mines
|
We outlived a time
|
That's long passed away
|
|
I thought we'd change things
|
But we never changed a thing
|
We never changed a thing
|
|
There's a girl
|
There's another
|
That one looks familiar
|
I think I knew her mother
|
|
Wait a moment yet
|
Have a cigarette
|
They let us stand out here on the pavement
|
Just look now, look all around
|
Now that's what I call entertainment
|
|
I thought we'd change things
|
But we never changed a thing
|
We never changed a thing
|
