ADDITIONAL WORDS:

Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job

But I get no offers

Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue

I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome

I took some comfort there.

Ooo-la-la la la la la.

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone

Going home where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me,

Leading me, going home.

In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade

and he carries the reminders of ev'ry glove that's laid him down

Or cut him 'til he cried out in his anger and his shame

"I am leaving, I am leaving."

But the fighter still remains.

Quite a sad song, but one of my favourites.

:-)

Cheers Richard

MY MOST WANTED...

Put it there - Paul McCartney (need some help)

Still haven't found what I'm looking for - U2

Starman - David Bowie

(I'm sure that Scott Yanoff must have the U2 one)
