Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a young boy in the queue
There's not much else here for him to do
He's had a drink, he's had a few
Down the pub on Hope Street
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Rain on me come pouring down
Clean the dirt off this old town
Tell the sun to come around
Show his face on Hope Street
[Verse 4]
There's a fight right down the street
The betting shop has got him beat
He blew his money for the week
On a horse called Hope Street
[Verse 5]
No old faces out today
Someone took them all away
Cleaning up or so they say
The dirty face of Hope Street
[Verse 6]
Rain on me come pouring down
Clean the dirt off this old town
Tell the sun to come around
Show his face on Hope Street
[Verse 7]
Rain on me come pouring down
Clean the dirt off this old town
Tell the sun to come around
Show his face on Hope Street
[Verse 8]
Every day I look at you
Dressed up in your ties of blue
Saying there's not much that you can do
Help the kids on Hope Street
[Verse 9]
You don't seem to even care
That it was you that put them there
You seem to think they like it there
Hanging out on Hope Street
[Verse 10]
Rain on me come pouring down
Clean the dirt off this old town
Tell the sun to come around
Show his face on Hope Street
