Chumbawamba – The Big Issue (Acoustic Version) lyrics

(Chorus)
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's got 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
(Repeat chorus)
She's a clueless social climber
Likes the wrong side of the bed
She's a pick-me-up and 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
(Repeat chorus)
(Repeat chorus)
