The Big Issue (acoustic Version) Lyrics - Chumbawamba

There are those, spend the night 

Under bridges 

Over by the river, down in the park 

Through the winter 

But there's a house that I know 

Safe and warm 

And no-one ever goes there 

Down where the priests, bless the wine 

 

She's been born into the wrong time 

She keeps nonsense on her mind 

She's a poet, she's a builder 

She's as bored as bored can be 

She's a have-not, she's a know-all 

She knows just how to say, "Yes" 

She's skating frozen chaos 

Till the no good Gods are dead 

 

But sometimes in the dead of night 

Woken by the city lights 

She wonders how she keeps alive 

 

This is the girl who 

Lost the house which 

Paid to the man who 

Put up the rent and 

Threw out the girl to 

Feather his own sweet home 

 

She's a clueless social climber 

Likes the wrong side of the bed 

She's a pick-me-up and she's a 

Drink-to-me in the company of friends 

She's tried every variation 

She's so common, she's so cold 

She's homesick for a future 

Can't stomach what she's told 

 

On every street in every town 

All her days are up and down 

At home among the lost-and-founds 

 

This is the girl who 

Lost the house which 

Paid to the man who 

Put up the rent and 

Threw out the girl to 

Feather his own sweet home 

 

Here's the good Samaritan 

Looks away and carries on 

Looks away and carries on 

 

This is the girl who 

Lost the house which 

Paid to the man who 

Put up the rent and 

Threw out the girl to 

Feather his own sweet home 

 

This is the girl who 

Lost the house which 

Paid to the man who 

Put up the rent and 

Threw out the girl to 

Feather his own sweet home 

 

This is the girl who 

Lost the house which 

Paid to the man who 

Put up the rent and 

Threw out the girl to 

Feather his own sweet home 

 

This is the girl who 

Lost the house which 

Paid to the man who 

Put up the rent and 

Threw out the girl to 

Feather his own sweet home 

 

Thank you for every tree and flower 

Thank you for every sky of pool 

Thank you I should be every hour 

Truly thanking you
