lyrics

Two Gallants out walking the city
They talk shop and the nitty gritty
One's a talker, one's a leech
One likes to listen, one likes to preach
They both scheme and wonder if it will all pay off
Use their money to maybe make it to the top
But probably not
They go...

These two men about town
Tip the cap, swan and shuffle around
They see the same faces over again
Have you got the time please sir, tell me when?
Pricklings of conscience, but they do what they must
Opportunities worth all the exploited trust
Worth it for a story, for a shilling,
For the gallery, for something thrilling
They go...

Have they walked these streets long enough yet
They want to see how much they can get
They've pulled the wool over so many eyes
Can they still tell the truth from the lies
There's hope for them yet as there's hope for us all
As they pedal their stories like goods from a stall
They walk tall, but feel small
They go...
