Wrote the first chorus whilst walking around Edinburgh at the weekend. Bashed the rest together in about 40mins this morning.

D D/C#
He sits on the floor
Bm A
At the front of the store
G G/F# Em A
The whole world passing before him
You ask him his name
But its never the same
He is one but he’s on every corner, every corner
With your mulberry bag
Filled to burst with your swag
You walk by don’t even notice
If he catches your eye
Lift your gaze to the sky
Just sped up like you havent seen him, haven't seen him
D
His whole world fits in a carrier bag
A
His only companion is time
D
His cheeks sink in as he drags on a fag
A
Done nothing but this is his crime
B
There but by the
A
Grace of god go
G A
We
He once had family a house in name
A dog, 2 kids and a job
In a blink of an eye it was never the same
To you he’s a layabout slob
