AThere's a young boy in the queue
DNot much else for him to do
He's hAad a drink, he's had a few
DDown the pub on Hope Street
ADear old lady she's looking thin
Got a shDopping bag with your life in
AYour old man's going through the bins
DSo it goes on Hope Street
ARain on me come pouring down
DClean the dirt of this old town
F#mTell the sun to come around
And shDow his face on Hope Street
Riff
AThere's a flight right down the street
The bDetting shop has got him beat
ABlew his money for the week
Don a horse called Hope Street
ANo old faces out today
DSomeone took them all away
ACleaning up or so they say
The dDirty face of Hope Street
AEveryday I look at you
DDressed up in you ties of blue
ASaying there's not much you can do
To hDelp the kids on Hope Street
AThey don't seem to even care
DThat it was you that put them there
AYou seem to think they like it there
DHanging out on Hope Street

F#m

There's a young boy in the queue

Not much else for him to do

He's had a drink, he's had a few

Down the pub on Hope Street

Dear old lady she's looking thin

Got a shopping bag with your life in

Your old man's going through the bins

So it goes on Hope Street

Rain on me come pouring down

Clean the dirt of this old town

F#m

Tell the sun to come around

And show his face on Hope Street

Riff

There's a flight right down the street

The betting shop has got him beat

Blew his money for the week

on a horse called Hope Street

No old faces out today

Someone took them all away

Cleaning up or so they say

The dirty face of Hope Street

Everyday I look at you

Dressed up in you ties of blue

Saying there's not much you can do

To help the kids on Hope Street

They don't seem to even care

That it was you that put them there

You seem to think they like it there

Hanging out on Hope Street
