Have you seen them in euston station
begging in their separate ways
some of them no more than children
Some of them are runaways
i dont care for your opinion
ive seen you turn your face away
you said to me "son whats your problem
lets talk about this over lunch someday"
But i bet you aint never
walked south of the river
down the old kent road
and down southwark way
i bet youve never never seen them lying in the litter
in the cardboard boxes
where you make them stay
in the docklands etc
