pat orchard - wild west end - acoustic lyrics

talking to tail end charlie
who served in his countries defence
now he lies alone and forgotten
now that he’s surplus to requirements
just a mile from where he lays
i can hear a band as it starts to play
well how come we remember the dead
yet forget the living on remembrance day
and welcome to the wild west end
welcome to the centre of democracy
welcome to the west my friends
welcome to the face of hypocrisy
in the wild west end
there goes simple simon
walking by himself
since they closed the asylums
he’s had to fend for both of himself
their policies defy description
the health service a contradiction
one day they say he’s mad
the next they close the only home he had
so welcome to the wild west end..
in the wild west end
in the shadow of big ben
living in cardboard
a thousand homeless men
and just a stones throw from parliament
they’re dying of cold
right there on the pavement
in the wild west end
judy goes to the circus
the animals come alive
she’s learnt all kinds of new tricks
well she’s had to just to survive
she’s got no job, no money, no home
so she’ll sell the only thing she owns
says goodbye to a teenage dream
‘cos she’s living in a nightmare
and just fourteen
welcome to the wild west end
welcome to the centre of democracy
i said welcome to wild west my friends
welcome to the face of hypocrisy
in the wild west end
