The Lower Turks Head
Homeless man
Wishes he were dead
Outside the pub
On an autumn night
Cold freezing wet floor
Hes hopin for more
Spare some change mr
As he holds out his cup
To the call centre worker
Yeah hes finished for the day
Works in the Arndale tower
Don’t glower its an iconic tower
Hes had a stressful day
Calls 24 hrs a day
He just wants a pint at the end of his shift
Cos hes a modern worker
Hes no shirker
hes a hard worker
looks at the homeless man
and thinks
how can this happen man
this poor man with his dog
is down on his luck
who gives a ****
so he puts his hand in his pocket
and hands him some change
god bless mr
as he looks at his blister
on his hand
he cant even stand
hes down on his luck
hes had hard luck
so the call centre worker
says its alright mate
and goes into the pub
orders a pint
and drinks into the night
he thinks
it could be me
or anyone
that’s on the street tonight
a homeless life
of trouble and strife
but hes got a life outside of work
a family house and home
hes thinkin of the long walk home
at the end of the night
on a Friday night
but its alright
co hes in
The Lower Turks Head
Homeless man
Wishes he were dead
Outside the pub
On an autumn night
Cold freezing wet floor
Hes hopin for more
