Come and meet me on the corner, honey
Zip up your coat and tie up on them laces
Old boys call us the young ones, sonny
'Cause they never had the heart into whoever's stayed
And, come on meet me on the corner, honey
Zip up your coat and tie up on them laces
Old boys call me the young ones, sonny
Never had the heart into whoever's stayed
A kiss for the cold and the careful enoughs
Nothing but for fear in the heart of me
Pissed up that wall, just like my brother
To cover where my mother sat frequently
Missed all your lovers except Lucy
'Cause she could be, should be more than a trophy
Hangin' 'round with town with Joe Calamity
And pubs that want change make old towns look the same
Come and meet me on the corner, honey
Zip up your coat and tie up on them laces
Old boys call me the young ones, sonny
'Cause they never had the heart into whoever's stayed
And I break down slow 'cause they ain't find me
I'm takin' it down for the lowest low
And uh, come and meet me on the corner, honey
'Cause I don't want to stay, I don't want to go
Tinned fruits, swingin' moods, face so pale
Battle scar, broad bar, fingernails
Leavin' enough fightin' that you always fail
Five-ten, white, brown-mouse young'un male
Said: Old Jimmy Jones, he can't fight no more
We all fall down, yes, we all fall down
Jimmy don't know what we're fightin' for
That's why I'm like leavin' and knockin' right up on your door
Come and meet me on the corner, honey
Zip up your coat and tie up on them laces
Old boys call me the young ones, sonny
'Cause they never had the heart into whoever's stayed
Come and meet me on the corner, honey
Zip up your coat and tie up on them laces
Play a good game, no game that funny
But it ain't never my fault, never had to do with me
And uh, okay, baby had a few always
But now I'm out the way, so open up your door, uh
Come and meet me on the corner, honey
'Cause I've forgotten what we're really like here, man, fighting for
