Count To A Million Thread!

3595

I have squandered my resistance

-“BB”-

3596

For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises

[This is exactly the song I was considering next.]

3597

All lies and jest

3598

Still a man hears what he wants to hear

(Great minds think alike.)

3599

And disregards the rest.

3600

When I left my home and my family

3601

I was no more than a boy

-“BB”-

3602

In the company of strangers

3603

In the quiet of the railway station, runnin’ scared

3604

Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters

3605

Where the ragged people go

3606

Looking for the places

3607

Only they would know.

3608

Lie la lie, lie la la la lie lie

3609

Asking only workman’s wages,

3610

I come looking for a job

3611

But I get no offers

3612

Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue

3613

I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome

3614

I took some comfort there…
