The Boxer - The British Pop Band[00:00:00]
I am just a poor boy[00:00:06]
Though my story's seldom told[00:00:07]
I have squandered my resistance[00:00:10]
For a pocket full of mumbles[00:00:13]
Such are promises[00:00:15]
All lies and jests[00:00:19]
Still a man hears[00:00:20]
What he wants to hear[00:00:22]
And dis regards the rest[00:00:23]
When I left my home[00:00:34]
And my family[00:00:36]
I was no more than a boy[00:00:37]
In the company of strangers[00:00:40]
In the quiet of the railway[00:00:42]
Station running scared[00:00:44]
Laying low[00:00:48]
Seeking out[00:00:50]
The poorer quarters[00:00:51]
Where the ragged people go[00:00:52]
Looking for the places[00:00:55]
Only they would know[00:00:57]
Asking only workman's wages[00:01:15]
I come looking for a job[00:01:18]
But I get no offers[00:01:20]
Just a come on from the whores[00:01:23]
On seventh avenue[00:01:25]
I do declare[00:01:29]
There were times[00:01:31]
When I was so lonesome[00:01:32]
I took some comfort there[00:01:34]
Then I'm laying out[00:02:26]
My winter clothes[00:02:28]
And wishing I was gone[00:02:29]
Going home[00:02:31]
Where the new york city winters[00:02:34]
Aren't bleeding me[00:02:36]
Bleeding me[00:02:40]
Going home[00:02:44]
In the clearing stands a boxer[00:02:53]
And a fighter by his trade[00:02:56]
And he carries the reminders[00:02:58]
Of ev'ry glove that layed him down[00:03:01]
Or cut him till he cried out[00:03:04]
In his anger and his shame[00:03:06]
I am leaving I am leaving[00:03:08]
But the fighter still remains[00:03:11]
