PROCLAIMERS - It Broke My Heart lyrics

rate me

Saw a man who was fifty-one<br>He bad married daughters and a single son<br>And he's lost his job as this years begun<br>And it broke my heart<br>Saw his wife who was fifty-two<br>She said she was sure they could make it through<br>That her single wage would just have to do<br>And it broke my heart<br>Talked about it with the family now<br>What began in sadness ended up a row<br>All the guys with the clever mouths<br>They were saying we should move south<br>Saw the son who's been gone two weeks<br>And he's down already with a job to seek<br>And he's in kings cross and theres no-one speaking<br>And it broke my heart.
