Handbags And Gladrags Lyrics - You Gotta Go There To Come Back - Stereophonics

Ever seen a blind man cross the road 

Trying to make the other side? 

Ever seen 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 granddad 

Had to sweat to buy you, baby 

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've borne everything in style

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

So once you think you're in, you're out 

'Cause you don't mean a single thing without 

The handbags and the gladrags 

That your poor old granddad 

Had to sweat to buy you 

Sing a song of six-pence for your sake 

And drink a bottle full of rye 

Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake 

And bake 'em all in a pie 

They told me you missed school today 

So what I suggest you just throw them all away 

The handbags and the gladrags 

That your poor old granddad 

Had to sweat to buy 

They told me you missed school today 

So what I suggest you just throw them all away 

The handbags and the gladrags 

That your poor old granddad 

Had to sweat to buy you
