Lyrics
and around and around the whole day through
he said the man wants you go wash his car
And big ideas that were never big enough, dreamed that if my dreams came true
And were dealing with reality, i was spittin sulkin smokin shirkin
Load the trolleys and the company trucks, i did a warehouse stint for southsea girl, but if they did they never said it at southsea girl
Fools like me trying to be in bands, to dream some dreams that never died
walking through the gates to the outside
Everybody got treated worse than trash, but if they did they never said it at southsea girl Knopfler, well nobody ever said it was a righteous world
well they had beaten up people from every land
Dreamed that if my dreams came true, then i wouldn t do what i didn t want to
And you couldn t sit down when there was nothing to do, but i couldn t love her back so lonely
and every day was just the same
Not me uh uh, and every day was just the same
A lumberjack with the travelling blues, dreamed that if my dreams came true
But if they did they never said it at southsea girl, a lumberjack with the travelling blues
no can can do no can
And around and around the whole day through, i had everyone but me to blame
walking through the gates to the outside
a little french girl so good to me
And i walked the streets of london town, while a lady from jamaica was singing and working, and around and around the whole day through
well nobody ever said it was a righteous world
I had everyone but me to blame, dreamed that if my dreams came true Knopfler, and i walked the streets of london town
but if they did they never said it at southsea girl
Skint in a material world, well nobody ever said it was a righteous world, i had everyone but me to blame
well they had beaten up people from every land
And every day was just the same, opened up and closed some doors
well they had beaten up people from every land
opened up and closed some doors
walking through the gates to the outside
And were dealing with reality, now some were grown up unlike me
and big ideas that were never big enough
Dreamed that if my dreams came true, it was hong kong clothes for cash
opened up and closed some doors
Hey you i m talking to you, well nobody ever said it was a righteous world Knopfler, and every day was just the same
While a lady from jamaica was singing and working, he said the man wants you go wash his car
He said the man wants you go wash his car, i did a warehouse stint for southsea girl
Then i wouldn t do what i didn t want to, it was hong kong clothes for cash
Well nobody ever said it was a righteous world, walking through the gates to the outside, and every day was just the same
but i couldn t love her back so lonely
opened up and closed some doors
a backpacker travelling through
Well nobody ever said it was a righteous world, and were dealing with reality
And around and around the whole day through, well nobody ever said it was a righteous world No, but if they did they never said it at southsea girl
I did a warehouse stint for southsea girl, no can can do no can Do, we had worn out shoes and worn out cuffs
A little french girl so good to me, i had everyone but me to blame
Hey you i m talking to you, he said the man wants you go wash his car
And you couldn t sit down when there was nothing to do, and big ideas that were never big enough Mark, looking for a place to put my head down
A little french girl so good to me, he said the man wants you go wash his car
Fools like me trying to be in bands, to dream some dreams that never died No, we had worn out shoes and worn out cuffs
