Third-Class ticket in his pocket Punching out the shadows underneath the sockets Tweed coat turned up against the fogSlow coaches rolling o'er the moor Between the very memory And approaches of warStale bread curling on a luncheon counter Loose change lonely, not the right amountForgotten Man of an indifferent nation Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station Somebody's calling you again The sky is falling Jimmie's standing in the rainNobody wants to buy a counterfeited prairie lullaby in a colliery town A hip flask and fumbled skein with some stagedoor Josephine is all he'll get now Eyes going in and out of focus Mild and bitter from tuberculosisForgotten Man Indifferent nation Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station Somebody's calling you again The sky is falling Jimmie's standing in the rainHer soft breath was gentle on his neck If he could choose the time to die Then he would come and go like this Underneath a painted skyShe woke up and called him "Charlie" by mistake And then in shame began to cry Tarnished silver band peals off a phrase And then warms their hands around the brazierForgotten Man Indifferent nation Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station Somebody's calling you again It's finally dawning Jimmie's standing in the rainBrilliantine glistening Your soft plaintive whistling And your wan wandering smileDied down at The Hippodrome Now you're walking off to jeers, the lonely sound of jingling spurs, the "toodle-oos" and "Oh, my dears" down at "The Argyle"Vile vaudevillians applaud sobriety There's no place for a half-cut cowboy in polite societyForgotten Man Indifferent nation Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station Somebody's calling you again It's finally dawning Jimmie's standing in the rain
