Hope Street

There's a young boy in the queue

Not much else her for him to do

He has had a drink, he has had a few

Down the pub on Hope Street

Dear old lady you're looking thin

Got a shopping bag with your life in

Your old man's going through the bins

So it goes on Hope Street

Chorus

Rain on me comes pouring down

Clean the dirt off this old town

Tell the sun to come around

Show his face on Hope Street

There's a fight right down the street

The betting shop has got him beat

Blew his money for the week

On a horse called Hope Street

There're no old faces out today

Someone took them all away

Cleaning up or so they say

The dirty face of Hope street

Chorus

Every day I look at you

Dressed up in you ties of blue

Saying there's not much else that you can do

To help the kids on Hope Street

You don't seem to even care

That it was you who put them there

You seem to think they like it there

Hanging out on Hope Street

Chorus
