The Sun Never Shines On The Poor - Richard Thompson[00:00:00]

Written by：Richard Thompson[00:00:02]

The urchins are writhing around in the mud[00:00:12]

Like eels playing tag in a barrel[00:00:16]

The old sally army sound mournful and sweet[00:00:20]

As they play an old Christmassy carol[00:00:23]

The world is as black as a dark night in hell[00:00:28]

What kind of a place can this be[00:00:32]

Old people like hermit crabs run into doorways[00:00:36]

All fearing to say do you feel a downtrodden as me[00:00:40]

Ting a ling ting a ling the devil he leans on your bell[00:00:47]

The future looks black as before[00:00:54]

And the sun never shines the sun never shines on the poor[00:00:58]

The rich man he dreams of his gold and his plate[00:01:21]

And his house and his car and his women[00:01:24]

The poor man he dreams of his one roomed estate[00:01:28]

And his wage packet short by one shilling[00:01:32]

The last penny falls through a hole in your jeans[00:01:37]

Now ain't that the way when you're down[00:01:41]

Just walking in circles for the rest of your life[00:01:45]

And feeling so low that your chin scrapes along the ground[00:01:49]

Ting a ling ting a ling the devil he leans on your bell[00:01:56]

The future looks black as before[00:02:03]

And the sun never shines the sun never shines on the poor[00:02:07]

Now some of the people are poor in the purse[00:02:30]

They don't have the cash at the read[00:02:34]

And some of the people are crippled and lame[00:02:38]

They can never stand up true and steady[00:02:42]

And some of the people are poor in the head[00:02:46]

Like the simpleton fools that you see[00:02:50]

But most of the people are poor in the heart[00:02:54]

It's the worst kind of poor it's the worst kind of poor you can be[00:02:59]

Ting a ling ting a ling the devil he leans on your bell[00:03:05]

The future looks black as before[00:03:12]

And the sun never shines oh the sun never shines on the poor[00:03:16]
