Have you seen them in every station Begging in their separate ways Some of them are no more than children Some of them are runaways I don't care for your opinion I've seen you turn your face the other way And you said son What's your problem Can't we talk about this over lunch some day And I bet you've never Been south of the river Down the old Kent road or down Southwark way I bet you've never never seen them Lying in the litter In the cardboard boxes Where you make them stay In the docklands of East London Where those great tall ships once sailed Of a price of couple of hundred thousands I have seen your condominiums for sale In the north by the archway tavern You can see them lying there every day And they're drunk and they scream their minds to the heaven Dear lord why did it have to be this way And I bet you've never Been south of the river Down the old Kent road or down Southwark way I bet you've never never seen them Lying in the litter In the cardboard boxes Where you make them stay I worked some time I paid my taxes I lined your pockets with my pay You said you'd take my money You said you'd help them But in your pockets it just seems to stay And I've seen your fancy house in Richmond And where you moor your boat down Kingston way In the weekend you take your wife out sailing Try taking her down south London some day And I bet you've never Been south of the river Down the old Kent road or down Southwark way I bet you've never never seen them Lying in the litter In the cardboard boxes Where you make them stay In the cardboard boxes Where they have to stay
