Haggard Muggins

They thought I was dragged up by Haggard Muggins You'll only see the beery jugs Not the sheer love I was cloaked in Compels the pound to stretch upon a council deck He kept the factory running Though cicatrix mounted Serotonin shouted Nothing's what you're becoming Look over there Look at Muggins over there Clandestine doesn't always count as betrayal He implodes before his holy grail Son there's things you'll learn And as pages of life continue to turn When time doesn't wait Tear down the highlands with a violent quake Double denim kept your old seventies ways Cause you signed on for your dole's wage Deceived, demanded, redundant Now you suffered and swallowed words as a husband As the earth's surface was sunken A family thrives from a couple of hundred And every fortnight's a new day Look over there Look at Muggins over there Look over there Look at Muggins over there Look over there Look at Muggins over there Yeah yeah you're telling me to look over there I was only a child look over there Optimism runs dry look over there I was only a child
