Handbags and Gladrags

HANDBAGS AND GLADRAGS - STEREOPHONICS

Ever seen a blind man cross the road,
Try'na make the other side,
Ever seen a young girl growing old,
Try'na to make herself a bride,
So what becomes of you my love,
When they have finally stripped you of,
The handbags and the gladrags,
That your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy you,

Once I was a young man,
All I thought I had to do was smile,
Well You are still a young girl,
And you bought everything in style,
So once you think you're in, you're out,
'Cause you don't mean a single thing without,
The handbags and the gladrags,
That your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy you,

Sing a song of six-pence for your sake,
And drink a bottle full of rye,
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake,
And bake them all in a pie,
They told me you missed school today,
So what I suggest you just throw them all away,
The handbags and the gladrags,
That your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy you,

They told me you missed school today,
So what I suggest you just throw them all away,
The handbags and the gladrags,
That your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy you.


Lovely track by the Stereophonics, was just hopping out of the shower on a rainy Sunday afternoon, towel in hand and hair still drip-a-dropping when i first heard this song. At times like these you wish time would come to a standstill. To buy CDs list is getting longer, with the moolah running low, no more chocolates and chips, after all, good music feeds one more than food ever could.
