One Man's Rubbish Lyrics - Beautiful South

He picks up the pieces 

Of long gone days 

Of old fashioned people 

And old fashioned ways 

He picks up the pieces 

Where nothing remains 

And puts them away 

'Til they're wanted again 

One for the memory 

One for the road 

One man's rubbish 

Is another man's gold

He likes Hank Snow 

And Roy Orbison tunes 

He drinks whisky all night 

And he howls at the moon 

He sits by the Humber 

When days abate 

And thinks about the things 

That the world throws away 

One for the memory 

One for the road 

One man's rubbish 

Is another man's gold 

I'm thinking of a girl 

And the old river cries 

As she's standing on the bridge 

Of a barge going by 

I swear she waved at me 

Big ol' tears in her eyes 

And they're taking the coal to Newcastle

One for the memory 

One for the road 

One man's rubbish 

Is another man's gold 

One for the memory 

One for the road 

One man's rubbish 

Is another man's gold
