LIVING ON THE DOLE<\/span><\/b>
\n\u00a9Trev Teasdel Coventry 1976<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nI know that I don’t have the looks<\/span>
\nof heroes in glossy magazines and books.<\/span>
\nMy hair don’t shine and fall in place<\/span>
\nin ways that would enhance my face.<\/span>
\nMy body’s not a symbol of sex<\/span>
\nand my stomach’s somewhat circumflex.<\/span>
\nThere ‘s more to love than meets the eye<\/span>
\nThat could bring together you and I.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nShould we marry<\/span><\/i>
\nHow would life be<\/span><\/i>
\nLiving on the dole<\/span><\/i>
\nIf we had kids<\/span><\/i>
\nCould we feed them<\/span><\/i>
\nLiving on the dole<\/span><\/i>
\nLiving loving loving living<\/span><\/i>
\nLiving on the dole.<\/span><\/i>
\nLiving loving loving living<\/span><\/i>
\nLiving on the dole.<\/span><\/i>
\n
<\/span>
\nI know that I don’t have a job<\/span>
\nand my prospects aren’t very good.<\/span>
\nI live in poverty untold<\/span>
\nrely on hand me downs<\/span>
\nand sign dole.<\/span>
\nNo work around for ages to come<\/span>
\nSo the people label me a bum.<\/span>
\nThere’s more to love than meets the eye<\/span>
\nThat could bring together you and I.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nI know that I don’t have the nerve,<\/span>
\nTo tell you how much I really love you<\/span>
\nI just don’t know how we’d make out,<\/span>
\nIn fact I haven’t got a clue.<\/span>
\nOur houses are both overcrowded<\/span>
\nand there’s such a long waiting list.<\/span>
\nThere’s more to love than meets the eye<\/span>
\nThat could bring together you and I.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nThe house we live in we’ll never own<\/span>
\nAnd you can’t ring me on the phone.<\/span>
\nin these dark ages, these troubled times,<\/span>
\nWe must look to the future and bare in mind<\/span>
\nThis is not how it will always be,<\/span>
\nwhen changes come, we must stand up and take our place.<\/span>
\nThere’s more to life than meets the eye<\/span>
\nthat could bring together you and I<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nIt’s a good job good looks don’t get you through the world.<\/span>
\nNo magazine image for those living in the real world.<\/span>
\nCan you see us in time, sitting in the cold<\/span>
\nour children grown up and on the dole.<\/span>
\nWe’ll grow older in the freezing cold<\/span>
\nwarm our limbs by the fires in our souls<\/span>
\nThere must be more to life than meets the eye<\/span>
\nI love you could you love I.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
