[00:03.22]Third-Class ticket in his pocket
[00:08.37]Punching out the shadows underneath the sockets
[00:11.61]Tweed coat turned up against the fog
[00:15.33]Slow coaches rolling o'er the moor
[00:17.88]Between the very memory
[00:20.05]And approaches of war
[00:23.97]Stale bread curling on a luncheon counter
[00:28.07]Loose change lonely, not the right amount
[00:32.00]Forgotten Man of an
[00:33.78]indifferent nation
[00:36.21]Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station
[00:41.22]Somebody's calling you again
[00:44.23]The sky is falling
[00:45.94]Jimmie's standing in the rain
[00:51.28]Nobody wants to buy a counterfeited prairie lullaby in a colliery town
[01:00.61]A hip flask and fumbled skein with
[01:03.81]some stagedoor Josephine is all
[01:06.67]he'll get now
[01:09.68]Eyes going in and out of focus
[01:12.74]Mild and bitter from tuberculosis
[01:16.48]Forgotten Man
[01:18.66]Indifferent nation
[01:21.15]Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station
[01:26.22]Somebody's calling you again
[01:29.14]The sky is falling
[01:30.95]Jimmie's standing in the rain
[01:41.31]Her soft breath was gentle on his neck
[01:45.95]If he could choose the time to die
[01:50.90]Then he would come and go like this
[01:55.91]Underneath a painted sky
[02:00.94]She woke up and called him "Charlie" by mistake
[02:05.68]And then in shame began to cry
[02:10.90]Tarnished silver band peals off a phrase
[02:15.20]And then warms their hands around the brazier
[02:20.29]Forgotten Man
[02:22.46]Indifferent nation
[02:25.05]Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station
[02:30.05]Somebody's calling you again
[02:33.09]It's finally dawning
[02:34.90]Jimmie's standing in the rain
[02:45.35]Brilliantine glistening
[02:49.69]Your soft plaintive whistling
[02:53.55]And your wan wandering smile
[02:59.77]Died down at The Hippodrome
[03:02.49]Now you're walking off to jeers,
[03:05.22]the lonely sound of jingling spurs,
[03:08.46]the "toodle-oos" and "Oh, my dears"
[03:13.00]down at "The Argyle"
[03:17.86]Vile vaudevillians applaud sobriety
[03:21.49]There's no place for a half-cut
[03:24.41]cowboy in polite society
[03:27.46]Forgotten Man
[03:29.33]Indifferent nation
[03:32.05]Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station
[03:36.96]Somebody's calling you again
[03:39.99]It's finally dawning Jimmie's standing in the rain
