[00:09.445] So there he was then, Penzance to play
[00:15.065] Christmas Eve in a nowhere band
[00:19.871] Now early morning Christmas Day
[00:25.048] He’s hitching home to Geordieland
[00:30.036] Last night the snow came, just my luck
[00:35.586] And who the hell do you think you are
[00:40.760] Climbing up into that truck
[00:45.585] With your old bag and your guitar
[00:50.569] And you, you would-be vagabond
[00:55.009] No-one invited you, you know
[00:59.738] Matchstick man, up in the dawn
[01:04.720] You’ve got five hundred miles to go
[01:29.936] The driver now must drop off his load
[01:35.001] The snow still laying thick on the ground
[01:40.453] Leaves him on a high crossroads
[01:45.136] Where he can see for miles around
[01:50.286] The sun is shining, sky is blue
[01:55.951] And everything is white and bare
[02:01.273] Not a car comes into view
[02:06.319] There’s nothing moving anywhere
[02:11.552] And you, you would-be vagabond
[02:16.039] No-one invited you, you know
[02:20.962] Matchstick man, you speck upon
[02:25.736] These vast and silent plains of snow
[00:09.445] So there he was then, Penzance to play
[00:15.065] Christmas Eve in a nowhere band
[00:19.871] Now early morning Christmas Day
[00:25.048] He' s hitching home to Geordieland
[00:30.036] Last night the snow came, just my luck
[00:35.586] And who the hell do you think you are
[00:40.760] Climbing up into that truck
[00:45.585] With your old bag and your guitar
[00:50.569] And you, you wouldbe vagabond
[00:55.009] Noone invited you, you know
