[00:00.0]The Boxer - The British Pop Band
[00:06.01]I am just a poor boy
[00:07.98]Though my story's seldom told
[00:10.53]I have squandered my resistance
[00:13.32]For a pocket full of mumbles
[00:15.56]Such are promises
[00:19.12]All lies and jests
[00:20.63]Still a man hears
[00:22.22]What he wants to hear
[00:23.73]And dis regards the rest
[00:34.92]When I left my home
[00:36.35]And my family
[00:37.82]I was no more than a boy
[00:40.06]In the company of strangers
[00:42.97]In the quiet of the railway
[00:44.97]Station running scared
[00:48.97]Laying low
[00:50.28]Seeking out
[00:51.1]The poorer quarters
[00:52.84]Where the ragged people go
[00:55.4]Looking for the places
[00:57.34]Only they would know
[01:15.82]Asking only workman's wages
[01:18.54]I come looking for a job
[01:20.76]But I get no offers
[01:23.64]Just a come on from the whores
[01:25.96]On seventh avenue
[01:29.74]I do declare
[01:31.4]There were times
[01:32.33]When I was so lonesome
[01:34.05]I took some comfort there
[02:26.68]Then I'm laying out
[02:28.03]My winter clothes
[02:29.41]And wishing I was gone
[02:31.68]Going home
[02:34.31]Where the new york city winters
[02:36.77]Aren't bleeding me
[02:40.53]Bleeding me
[02:44.36]Going home
[02:53.44]In the clearing stands a boxer
[02:56.05]And a fighter by his trade
[02:58.63]And he carries the reminders
[03:01.59]Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
[03:04.08]Or cut him till he cried out
[03:06.52]In his anger and his shame
[03:08.85]I am leaving I am leaving
[03:11.43]But the fighter still remains
