lyrics

Charlatans and Blaggers

There’s gonna be big knocks in the yard
Me I’ve had to learn to fall
Only wish I’d learnt to play hard
Wasn’t it a breeze in the hazy days of fun?
When the future was no further than the setting of the sun

Better step lightly in the dark
Like a dog that’s free to roam
Take a sniff at every stone
Take piss on all the vermin
For they’ll crush you for your bone

(Chorus)

All the Charlatans and blaggers
With their thunderbolts and daggers
They’ll do their damndest to reduce you
To just embers in the ashes

Of all you could have been
All you’re gonna be
‘cos I know for certain you’re gonna be a better man than me
You got the looks ain’t you got the smile
You got the guts, you’re gonna need some guile

( Repeat Chorus)

The fools and knaves and bureaucrats
Suited and booted sewer rats with their wooden swords and paper hats
They’ll sell you heartache with a smile
And just when you think that you’re flying high
They’ll clip the wings hope as you fly

( Repeat Chorus)
