Paul Millns - Charly lyrics

Charly slipping down the side-streets What you're doing out of school Hurling pennies at the street lamps Breaking all the golden rules Going down to the high streets Watching all the rich roll by Will you ever get to show them And to hold your head up high At school they teach and preach you Get a job and earn your pay But Charly's got the answers He ain't gonna live that way I know you gonna make it Charly, big one day Charly, early in the morning Delivering the daily news He knows his mother needs the money It's not the kind of job he'd choose Take a train to the city Make a fortune who can tell Don't let your old man catch you Or he'd really gonna give you hell At school they teach and preach you Get a job and earn your pay But Charly's got the answers He ain't gonna live that way Well I know you gonna make it Charly Bet you gonna make it Charly Know you gonna make it Charly, big one day Left a letter on the table, Charly Gonna throw away your labels, Charly See your name in lights, gonna do all right I know your future's shining bright, Charly
