Handbags and Gladrags lyrics

Artist  : Stereophonics 
Song : Handbags and Gladrags
 


Ever see a blind man cross the road
Trying to
make the other side
Ever see a young girl
growing old
Trying to make herself a
bride

So what becomes of you my
love
When they have finally stripped you
of
The handbags and the gladrags
That your
poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy
you

Once I was a young man
And all I
thought I had to do was smile
Well you are
still a young girl
And you bought everything
in style

So once you think you're in
you're out
'Cos you don't mean a single thing
without
The handbags and the gladrags
That
your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy
you

Sing a song of six-pence for your
sake
And take a bottle full of rye
Four and
twenty blackbirds in a cake
And bake them all
in a pie

They told me you missed school
today
So what I suggest you just throw them
all away
The handbags and the gladrags
That
your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy
Oh
oh

They told me you missed school
today
So what I suggest you just throw them
all away
The handbags and the gladrags
That
your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
