Hunger Cold lyrics

Ive been all around your dirty old city

Been all around your dirty old town [shades of ewan maccoll --.ed]

Ive slept in your alleys, Ive slept in your subways

Hunger and cold, they follow me down



Chorus:

Hunger and cold, hunger and cold

I wouldnt mind but Im growing so old

But as low as I am, you know Im still a man

And I wouldnt mind but Im growing so old



Only last year I was rolling in money

Only last year the good times would roll

Only last year my friends were so many

But only last year was so long ago



(chorus)



Its all so easy to throw me in prison

Its all so easy to just walk on by

But its not so easy to see a man hungry

Its not so easy to look in his eye



(chorus)



Yes theres poison in my cheap rotten liquor

Theres poison in every old garbage can

But the worst kind of poison

Is in your own brain

When you look at me and forget Im a man.
