Lyrics
0:24You once had a home a job
0:27A family and pride
0:30But we all have a price we'll pay
0:32When things go wrong inside
0:36Don't wear diamonds
0:38And now you don't wear gold
0:42And in the bruises on your face
0:44There's stories to be told
0:48In the shadow of a cold stone
0:51Freezing to the bone
0:55But you keep a warm fire burning in your soul
1:00'Cause you're gonna spend a black night
1:02Console a sad man
1:07In a hungry city with a million hungry hearts
1:17When you stand in Sackville
1:20It's a different world from the one
1:24You knew where little
1:26Boys meet little girls
1:30As you tread your path
1:32Through a jaundiced corridor
1:35Where each day has no beginning and no end
1:40There are those out here
1:43Who claim to be so good
1:46I suspect that Jesus holidayed in Hell
1:53Oh what you'd do for a hot drink
1:55Or a warm coat
1:58Or what you'd give
2:00For a means to get you outta here
2:05It rains upon your head
2:08Lines on your face become
2:11Rivers into which you cry your secret tears
2:15Secret tears
2:17Secret tears secret tears
2:22When you stand in Sackville
2:24It's a different world from the one
2:28You knew where little
2:30Boys meet little girls
2:33The first night we saw you
2:36We were laughing at you
2:39We were hanging on the side of the Cortina
2:45Oh yeah you seemed so strong
2:47Stronger than a man could ever be
2:51Laughing with your sisters in the rain
2:57Dancing on a curbstone
2:59When last you saw her
3:04But when the trick goes wrong
3:05There's no one there to help her
3:09There's not a thing that I can do about it
3:15I guess I'll just go home and write a song about it
3:20Song about it
3:21Write about it
3:23Write about it
3:24When you stand in Sackville
3:28It's a different world from the one
3:33You knew where little
3:35Boys meet little girls
3:37It's a cold and trembling girl
3:40Leans into a strange car
3:43Nods unspoken words to an unseen
3:47Driver sitting there
You once had a home a job A family and pride But we all have a price we'll pay When things go wrong inside Don't wear diamonds And now you don't wear gold And in the bruises on your face There's stories to be told In the shadow of a cold stone Freezing to the bone But you keep a warm fire burning in your soul 'Cause you're gonna spend a black night Console a sad man In a hungry city with a million hungry hearts When you stand in Sackville It's a different world from the one You knew where little Boys meet little girls As you tread your path Through a jaundiced corridor Where each day has no beginning and no end There are those out here Who claim to be so good I suspect that Jesus holidayed in Hell Oh what you'd do for a hot drink Or a warm coat Or what you'd give For a means to get you outta here It rains upon your head Lines on your face become Rivers into which you cry your secret tears Secret tears Secret tears secret tears When you stand in Sackville It's a different world from the one You knew where little Boys meet little girls The first night we saw you We were laughing at you We were hanging on the side of the Cortina Oh yeah you seemed so strong Stronger than a man could ever be Laughing with your sisters in the rain Dancing on a curbstone When last you saw her But when the trick goes wrong There's no one there to help her There's not a thing that I can do about it I guess I'll just go home and write a song about it Song about it Write about it Write about it When you stand in Sackville It's a different world from the one You knew where little Boys meet little girls It's a cold and trembling girl Leans into a strange car Nods unspoken words to an unseen Driver sitting there
