Lyrics

It was a cold Easter Sunday in the old town
Nothing out of the ordinary
Just the usual crowds
Sons and daughters
Baby mothers pushing prams
It was a nice day
To be a family man
Some guy on the street asked if I could spare a little change
I said I wish I could help
And then he passed on his way
Well I guess I'm just a tourist
Looking for some lunch
It's a Beachy Head bank holiday
And I'm trying not to jump
Still I jump
I jump down
I jump out of my skin all over this town
I jump down
I jump up
Pat me on the head and wish me good luck
And I try to be nice
I try to do the right thing
I try to pay my way
I'm trying to hang on to a dream
I'm trying to find my feet
Relocate my bus
I'm just sitting here waiting for my ticket to be punched
So I punch
I punch down
Whatever it takes to get by in this town
I punch down
I punch up
Pat me on the head and wish me good luck
All the animals come out when the sun goes down
Looks like Hieronymus Bosch refurbished the old town
Still I keep to myself
Eyes firmly fixed on my feet
My hands are in my pockets
As I navigate through the high street
And I cut a sharp left
I live through a dead end
I see a face I know
But it's a face without a name
But I'm not here to make friends
Or mess with anyone at all
There's a chill in the air
And the rain starts to fall
So I fall
I fall down
I fall out of my skin all over this town
I fall down
I fall up
Pat me on the head and wish me good luck
I punch up
I punch down
Whatever it takes to get by in this town
I punch down
I punch up
Pat me on the head and wish me good luck
Pat me on the head and wish me good luck
