Thinkin' of poems of poverty
Sittin' with a tight-clenched wrist
Thinkin' how to gain authority
Oh what a soft touch of a boy
He’d wander with pride to sell
And keep visions to his self
Visions to his self

We’d talk of treasure and overrated games
We’d steal the milk bottles
Sneakin' through the back 'round Jimmy’s way
What we loved most of all was sittin' 'round the shop
While this young boy was sittin' all alone, sittin' all alone

Ponderin' times of sanctuary
He was takin' his piano lessons, we were on half an E
Invested life in medicine, which isn't the wisest way to go
Had so much **** going on, convinced he’d never win
Convinced he was a sin

We’d speak of women and cheaper carryouts
We’d turn up to all the festivals, tryin' to bring down the touts
What we loved the most of all was sittin’ 'round the shop
While this poor boy was sittin’ all alone, sittin’ all alone

We’d talk of treasure and overrated games
We’d steal the milk bottles
Sneakin' through the back 'round Jimmy’s way
What we loved most of all was hangin' 'round the shop
While this young boy was sittin' all alone

He didn't find none of his own kind
(None of his own kind)
He didn’t have none of his own kind
(None of his own)
You should take interest in his mind
Not spend all of his time
Wastin' all his money and his time

Thinkin' of poems of poverty
(Writin' lines and drinkin' tea)
Sittin' with a tight-clenched wrist
Thinkin' how to gain authority
(How to gain authority)
Oh what a soft touch of a don
He’d wander with pride to sell
And keep visions to his self
Visions to his self

We’d talk of treasure and overrated games
We’d steal the milk bottles
Sneakin' through the back 'round Jimmy’s way
What we loved most of all was hangin' 'round the shop
While this young boy was sittin' all alone, sittin’ all a-

We’d talk of treasure and overrated games
Steal the milk bottles
Sneakin' through the back 'round Jimmy’s way
What we loved most of all was hangin' 'round the shop
(Hangin' 'round the shop!)
What we loved most of all was waitin' 'round the shop
(Waitin' 'round the shop!)
What we loved most of all was sittin' 'round the shop
(Sittin' 'round the shop!)
What we loved the most was hangin' round the shop
While this young boy was sittin' all alone
