CARDBOARD CITY

©Lyrics & Music Marion& Huw Lloyd-Langton

 

Recorded at Millhill Studios(1999) FOR LLGÕS R ÒCHAIN REACTIONÓ LP

 

See them walk the streets till they drop

Alone and in pain Ômidsttheir homeless domain

ThereÕs a man lying down,dirty and torn

Waiting for the dawn, theremust be a way to

end this human decay

 

Cardboard City theyÕre livingin,

Cardboard City so cold

Cardboard City theyÕre tryingin

TheyÕre too young, theyÕretoo old.

 

As the train pulls in weÕreconfronted by them

Grey haired, haggard boys andgirls

Where do they hide when itÕscold outside

Who do they tell when theyhurt deep inside.

 

Cardboard City theyÕre livingin,

Cardboard City so cold

Cardboard City theyÕre tryingin

TheyÕre too young, theyÕretoo old.
