And you shine your glory all around
Do not disguise what we did
I asked you for half a pound, and you said -
Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, kid
Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, kid.

And the child held a ball in the garden, with the old queen
And you kissed the lips and heart in all the (stranger?), you know what I mean
And you walked on in the streets all lonely, in your own childish way
And you thought that you would only - do it for today.

And you shine your glory all around
Do not disguise what we did
I asked you for half a pound, and you said -
Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, kid
Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, kid.

And just went outside the club and the rain came down on his head and it got all soaking wet.

And I walked away from the backstreets and the rain, and the (song?), how many times have I died?
And we turned on outside of the bus shelter and I jumped on and said "Goodbye."

And I shine my glory all around
Do not disguise what I did
Tried to keep it underground and they said -
Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, kid
You gotta, go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, Saturday morning...
