Cardboard Town Lyrics - Singles - Dogs Damour

(3:10) 

Life is wicked in wino city 

Life down here just ain't pretty 

We get to the "Nitty Gritty" 

You can smell the stench of vagabond city 

Life used to be sex, smack and tears 

For a dirty hero playin' guitars for those years 

To make a few Quid for breakfast at Sids 

And a pack o'ten tabs for him n' his missus 

An all those people hit me 

They just knock me down 

in cardboard town, come on down, cardboard town 

>From the Irish to the rich who have fallen from grace 

To the battered wife took one too many on the face 

The husband is drunk n' so absurd 

To the people who give up the world 

An all those people hit me 

They just knock me down 

in cardboard town, come on down, cardboard town 

Down in the gutter sleepin' with the dogs 

Talkin' to the fleas, rats, n' the hogs 

Drinkin' the grain that'll rot my brain 

Leavin' thunderbird city on the next nighttrain 

An all those people hit me 

They just knock me down 

in cardboard town, come on down, cardboard town 

Come on down, irish n' slick guys hang around 

25 cents if you got any sense
