July 1990.

lyrics

Man On The Street

Let me tell you a story
about a man on the street
he didn't feel sorry
because his clothes weren't clean
he never talked to strangers
and kept his eyes on the ground
he was aware of any danger
and he kept what he found.

(chorus)
When the sun didn't shine
he was in his room
when he seemed out of place
he played a tune
and when the man felt down
he played the blues
oh yeah

He got what he wanted
and he wondered what he got
when the food was rotten
he made sure he threw it out
when he bought something
he said, "keep the change".
and he worked for nothing
or low wage.

(chorus)

When he saw a thief
he knocked him on the chin
and he brought him to the chief
and the reward was his
he wasn't no old cheat
but he sure was mean
he was a man on the street
and his clothes weren't clean.

(chorus)

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.
