Woke up on a Manchester morning

No sun up on the sky

Caught the train down to London

So broke I could make you cry

When you get right down to it

There's really nothing in it



I got a copy of the evening paper

If there's a job I will apply

The DHS says it's now or never

This is a case of do or die



When it comes right down to it

I've got to struggle through it



**

Put the lights way down low

Come closer

Tell me heroes don't fade away, they're forever

Just a little bit of something

Just a little bit of real

Tell me heroes don't fade away, become a memory

So come on darling now

I still need to know

Are we gonna fade away or stay forever



Took a walk down to Soho

I've got T.V. on my mind

It says these days you have it easy

Oh Lord, I must be blind

When it comes right down to it

I can see right on through it



I really love my old lady

Much more grief she can't take

Wish I could take her somewhere fancy

I still need that lucky break



When it comes right down to it

There's really nothing in it



Repeat **



And I'm dreaming of summer

Of just me and you now



But a love with no money

How long will it ring true



One big city smells like another

I get lost in this maze

When I get home should I lie

The bottle's gone I'm in a daze



When it comes right down to it

I've got to struggle through it



Things look bleak out of this window

Sometimes I wanna run away

And the light fades down this tunnel

It merges into another day



Repeat *
