Days Of Pearly Spencer |
| A tenement, a dirty street |
| Walked and worn by shoeless feet |
| Inside its long and so complete |
| Watched by a shivering sun |
| Old eyes in a small childs face |
| Watching as the shadows race |
| Through walls and cracks and leave no trace |
| And daylights brightness shuns |
| The days of pearly spencer |
| The race is almost run |
| Nose pressed hard on frosted glass |
| Gazing as the swollen mass |
| On concrete fields where grows no grass |
| Stumbles blindly on Iron trees smother the air |
| But withering they stand and stare |
| Through eyes that neither know nor care |
| Where the grass is gone |
| The days of pearly spencer |
| The race is almost run |
| Pearly wheres your milk white skin |
| Whats that stubble on your chin |
| Its buried in the rot gut gin |
| You played and lost not won |
| You played a house that cant be beat |
| Now look your heads bowed in defeat |
| You walked too far along the street |
| Where only rats can run |
| The days of pearly spencer |
| The race is almost run |
| The days of pearly spencer |
| The race is almost run |
| The race is almost run |
| A tenement, a dirty street |
| Remember worn and shoeless feet |
| Remember how you stood to beat |
| The way your life had gone |
| So pearly dont you shed more tears |
| For those best forgotten years |
| Those tenements are memories |
| Of where youve risen from |
| The days of pearly spencer |
| The race is almost won |
