Missing You lyrics

In nineteen hundred and eighty six
There s not much for a chippie but swinging a pick
And you can t live on love, on love alone
So you sail cross the ocean, away cross the foam

To where you re a Paddy, a Biddy or a Mick
Good for nothing but stacking a brick
Your best mate s a spade and he carries a hod
Two work horses heavily shod

Oh I m missing you
I d give all for the price of a flight
Oh I m missing you
under Piccadilly s neon

Who did you murder, are you a spy?
I m just fond of a drink helps me laugh, helps me cry
So I just drink red biddy for a permanent high
I laugh a lot less and I ll cry till I die

All ye young people now take my advice
Before crossing the ocean you d better think twice
Cause you can t live without love, without love alone
The proof is round London in the nobody zone

Where the summer is fine, but the winter s a fridge
Wrapped up in old cardboard under Charing Cross Bridge
And I ll never go home now because of the shame
Of misfit s reflection in a shop window pane.
