Penny For the Guy

His face is lonely

He said he knows me

He said he's only here while they find him a place

To get his head down

Just need a few pounds

They sent a man round took away his living space

It’s a total disgrace to be going through hordes of

Waste of more that you could ever afford

To have - someone's having a laugh

At the expense of living on the edge of the map

He’s going downtown

It’s like a fairground

Put your hat down flat rate penny for the guy

Prize every time for the look in the eye

And if you ever wanna tell me something ive never known before

Or show me a better place to go to swap this less for more

It took him ages

Between the wages

Paying off the mortgage things he'll never need again

They had a slim down

They had a whip round

Put your hat down flat rate penny for the guy

If you never ask why you'll be living the lie

That it couldn't ever happen to a nicer guy

That its safety first to just walk on by

But when the bubbles burst you're on the other side

Of the downtown

He's in your hometown

You better get round there with a cup of tea

And if you know him

Ask where he's going

And if he's already gone say goodbye from me
