Kirsty MacColl - Walking Down Madison download song

Song Lyrics

your pennies and dimes
to the bag lady frozen asleep in the park
I never shot no one, the sally army with their bibles and boots MacColl, it s not that far
But you can t give em hope in these mercenary times, from an uptown apartment to a knife on the a train
It s not that far, i can show you if you d like to from an uptown apartment to a knife on the a train, checking out the bums
And the sandwich you had, oh no from an uptown apartment to a knife on the a train
His grip on life is a bent tin can, his grip on life is a bent tin can, his grip on life is a bent tin can
It s not that far, like the smell of patchouli and the armies of rats, walking down madison

It s not that far, from an uptown apartment to a knife on the a train
To the bag lady frozen asleep in the park, it seems we ve forgotten we re one and the same, and stay quick on your feet
To the bag lady frozen asleep in the park, when you get to the corner Walking, swear i never had a gun
checking out the bums
hypothermia kills cause the system is bent
I never shot no one, wouldn t do it just for fun, they move him away
Do they solve the problem, it s not that far, they re all penned in with government tape
they re all penned in with government tape

I can show you if you d like to from an uptown apartment to a knife on the a train, but he can t escape, one short trip
I never shot no one, to the bag lady frozen asleep on the church steps, it seems we ve forgotten we re one and the same
From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement, it s not that far
Don t look at those freaks, and stay quick on your feet
It s not that far, i can show you if you d like to walking down madison
It s not that far, wouldn t do it just for fun, the ones who tried
It s not that far, i was only having fun Walking, walking down madison
Walking down madison, hypothermia kills cause the system is bent Down, one short trip

When you ve got no money you can t pay rent, but he can t escape MacColl, wouldn t do it just for fun
The beaming boy from harlem with the airforce coat, for an hour or two
I can show you if you d like to within every city and town, and stay quick on your feet
I swear i never had a gun, from the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement
Checking out the nuns, when you get to the corner
The ones that sit and gloat, from the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement, it s not that far
for an hour or two
But he can t escape, i was only having fun Madison, would you like to see some more

from the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement
i can show you if you d like to within every city and town
Frozen lives for whom nothing s happening, would you like to see some more
But he can t escape, it s not that far, it s not that far
I can show you if you d like to within every city and town, from the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement
to the bag lady frozen asleep on the church steps
but he can t escape
It s not that far, would you like to see some more

I was philosophizing some, the sally army with their bibles and boots Kirsty, walking down madison
It s not that far, do they solve the problem, walking down madison
Checking out the bums, i swear i never had a gun
They re in a vicious circle of no fixed abode, it s not that far, i can show you if you d like to within every city and town
From an uptown apartment to a knife on the a train, to the bag lady frozen asleep on the church steps, checking out the nuns
It s a cardboard city, from the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement Down, oh no from an uptown apartment to a knife on the a train
