Walking Down Madison (2005 Digital Remaster) - Kirsty MacColl[00:00:00]

Written by： Kirsty Maccoll/Johnny Marr[00:00:01]

Walking down madison[00:00:18]

I swear I never had a gun[00:00:20]

No I never shot no one[00:00:23]

I was only having fun[00:00:25]

Walking down madison[00:00:27]

Swear I never had a gun[00:00:29]

I was philosophizing some[00:00:31]

Checking out the bums[00:00:34]

See you give'em your nickels your pennies and dimes[00:00:36]

But you can't give'em hope in these mercenary times oh no[00:00:39]

And you feel real guilty about the coat on your back[00:00:45]

And the sandwich you had oh no[00:00:48]

From an uptown apartment to a knife on the a train[00:00:59]

It's not that far[00:01:05]

From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement[00:01:08]

It's not that far[00:01:14]

To the bag lady frozen asleep in the park[00:01:17]

Oh no it's not that far[00:01:21]

Would you like to see some more[00:01:27]

I can show you if you'd like to[00:01:29]

Walking down madison[00:01:36]

I swear I never had a gun[00:01:38]

No I never shot no one[00:01:41]

Wouldn't do it just for fun[00:01:43]

Walking down madison[00:01:45]

Trying to keep my head screwed on[00:01:47]

I was philosophizing some[00:01:49]

Checking out the nuns[00:01:52]

When you get to the corner don't look at those freaks[00:01:54]

Keep your head down low and stay quick on your feet oh yeah[00:01:56]

The beaming boy from harlem with the airforce coat[00:02:03]

The ones who died[00:02:08]

The ones who tried[00:02:09]

The ones that sit and gloat[00:02:10]

From an uptown apartment to a knife on the a train[00:02:17]

It' s not that far[00:02:22]

From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement[00:02:26]

It's not that far[00:02:31]

To the bag lady frozen asleep on the church steps[00:02:35]

It's not that far[00:02:40]

Would you like to see some more[00:02:44]

I can show you if you'd like to[00:02:46]

Within every city and town there's a madison[00:02:53]

Frozen lives for whom nothing's happening[00:02:56]

Hungry children is a mother's dilemma[00:02:58]

Dumpster diving to feed her baby emma[00:03:00]

So you walk on by like it doesn't affect you[00:03:02]

The held out hand that you pay no respect to[00:03:04]

Nickels and dimes won't even buy your guilt[00:03:07]

Another wino dead burnt to death in his quilt[00:03:09]

It's a cardboard city newspaper metrapolis[00:03:11]

The system can't cope or keep on top of this[00:03:14]

The outhorities come as you're not for display[00:03:16]

Do they solve the problem no they move him away[00:03:18]

They're in a vicious circle of no fixed abode[00:03:20]

The social won't pay'em the money they re owed[00:03:23]

When you got no money you can't pay rent[00:03:25]

Hypothermia kills cos the system is bent[00:03:27]

From an uptown apartment to a knife on the a train[00:03:34]

It's not that far[00:03:40]

From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement[00:03:43]

It's not that far[00:03:49]

To the bag lady frozen asleep in the park oh no[00:03:53]

It's not that far[00:03:58]

Approve[00:04:02]

You can see some more[00:04:03]

I can show you if you'd like to[00:04:04]

From an uptown apartment to a knife on the a train[00:04:11]

It's not that far[00:04:16]

From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement[00:04:20]

It's not that far[00:04:25]

To the bag lady frozen asleep on the church steps[00:04:29]

It's not that far[00:04:34]

I can show you if you'd like to[00:04:41]

In the subway sits a vacuous man[00:04:48]

His grip on life is a bent tin can[00:04:50]

It's a holy shrine where he burns his light[00:04:52]

It makes things easy and removes his plight[00:04:54]

For an hour or two but he can't escape[00:04:56]

They're all penned in with government tape[00:04:59]

There are good samaritans who bring them soup[00:05:01]

The sally army with their bibles and boots[00:05:03]

You can see yourselves it's not too far[00:05:06]

One short trip you don't know who they are[00:05:08]

Till the night comes then it all comes back[00:05:10]

Like the smell of patchoulli and the armies of rats[00:05:12]

It's a shame to be human it's a human shame[00:05:15]

It seems we've forgotten we're one and the same[00:05:17]

One and the same[00:05:21]

One and the same[00:05:23]

No it's not too far[00:05:32]

No it's not too far[00:05:37]

We're one and the same[00:05:59]
