New Boy

Kevin went to see the city to find his future home
He never got his clothes so dirty, but his mind was clean
He got the train to Euston station, platform No.5
At the circus, he couldn't believe his eyes

He sat beside a crowd of people gathering by the road
He like to hear the young boys talking of what he didn't know
He walked the streets that night till early in the darkened hours
He crawled back to the station to lie down

Let me show you all the sights tonight boy
Let me show you all the night

Oh where'll you go now, you're just another new boy lost
By the pace
And you'll be lucky if you find somewhere to stay at night
Sleeping light

A lot of folk were talking about the young boy alone
He got a lot of offers from the hustlers and the whores
And when he had no money left - a favour for a queen
And there he stayed until he found a high

Let me show you all the sights tonight boy
Let me show you all the night

Oh where'll you go now, you're just another new boy lost
By the pace
And you'll be lucky if you find somewhere to stay at night
Sleeping light
