lirik lagu jez lowe and the bad pennies - high part of the town

(chorus)
keep your hands down in your pocket
and your eyes down on the ground
for the streets are lined with silver
in the high part of the town

(chorus)

every sunday we go walking to the high part of the town
ever since me father went up there and he found half a crown

he said this is easy money, the conditions can’t beat
we’ve never found a penny more but it keeps us off the street

(chorus)

our house is not so crowded since me mam she ran away
she’d rather live from hand to mouth than live from day to day

well me father’s often lonely but it’s a blessing in disguise
it’s cured me mother’s headaches and it’s cured me dad’s black eyes

(chorus)

then a man came from the council for to make me go to school
he asked me lots of questions and he told me lots of rules
then they tried to teach geography but i found it much too hard
when they asked me where does coal from, i answered next door’s yard

(chorus)

then last sunday night me father had a bit too much to sup
he swapped his sunday overcoat for a seven week old pup

well they told him it was a bulldog, he believed them i suppose
but we found out it’s a poodle with a badly broken nose

(chorus)

well they sent me home from school one day cause they said that i had nits
me mother said she was ashamed but aa was thrilled to bits

all me friends were green with envy but i knew just what to do
i sold them nits at ten pence each and they all got sent home too

(chorus)

well me father said some day we’d live in the high part of the town
but every time he gets a job they close the coal mine down

but it’s not when the pits are closing where me father’s trouble starts
it’s when they close the pubs as well it nearly breaks his heart
(chorus) ~ 2
