handbags and gladrags - stereophonics ever see a blind man cross the road
trying to make the other side
ever see a young girl growing old
trying to make herself a bride
so what becomes of you my love
when they have finally stripped you of
the handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old grandad had to sweat to buy you
once i was a young man
and all i thought i had to do was smile
well you are still a young girl
and you bought everything in style
so once you think you're in you're out
'cos you don't mean a single thing without
the handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old grandad had to sweat to buy you
sing a song of six-pence for your sake
and take a bottle full of rye
four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
and bake them all in a pie
they told me you missed school today
so what i suggest you just throw them all aw
