Handbags & Gladrags
(michael d'abo)
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 have finally stripped you of
The handbags & the gladrags
That your grandad had to sweat so you could buy
Baby
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
Listen
But once you think you're in you're out
'cause you don't mean a single thing without
The handbags & the gladrags
That your grandad had to sweat so you could buy
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And take a bottle full of rye
Four & twenty blackbirds in a cake
And bake them all in a pie
They told me you missed school today
So what i suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags & the gladrags
That your poor old granddad had to sweat to buy
They told me you missed school today
So i suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags & the gladrags
That your poor old granddad had to sweat to buy ya
