Handbags And Gladrags

歌詞

Ever seen a blind man cross the road Trying to make the other side? Ever seen a young girl growing old Trying to make herself a bride? So what becomes of you, my love When they finally stripped you of The handbags and the gladrags That your granddad had to sweat to buy Once I was a young man And all I thought I had to do was smile You are still a young girl And you bought everything in style But once you think you're in you're out 'Cause you don't mean a single thing without The handbags and the gladrags That granddad had to sweat to buy Sing a song of six-pence for your sake And drink a bottle full of rye, mmm Four and twenty blackbirds in a plate And bake them in a pie, yeah They told me you missed school today So what I suggest you just throw them all away The handbags and the gladrags That your Granddad had to sweat to buy, ah, to buy You gotta listen to what I'm saying 'cause I'm tellin' you, girl Right where you are Oh, withoout the handbgs You're no superstar
