Boys Of The Blue Bag Brigade

Lyrics

The man on his back was in a bad way
Though he spoke of his grandchild in the kindest way
But i knew by the eve
At the square he would be
With his buckfast across from the courthouse

Oh the christmas lights hang along the street
Shopkeepers eyes glare oh their smiles are so sweet
As they frown in dismay
At the boys of the blue bag brigade

I was driving home in the darkness
And i passed the pub on the corner
Where the skeletons hang on the window at Halloween
Beneath the arches,beneath the fruit shop
Shapes moved in the shadows which the headlights made
Oh yes i could see them
The boys of the blue bag brigade

Oh the christmas lights hang along the street
Shopkeepers eyes glare oh their smiles look so sweet
As they frown in dismay
At the boys of the Blue Bag Brigade

We may all end some day
With the boys of the blue bag brigade
