The Proclaimers - Just Look Now lyrics

Wait a moment yet Have a cigarette We can stand out here on the pavement There's a young man near With the same idea And a half-drunk beer as payment But we turn his offer down Give him a light and watch him frown As he weaves his way back round Into the crowd Many years ago that was us, I know When they said this place was dying But just look now, look all around If you squint, you'd swear it was thriving Now it's we who are in decline Like the old shipyards and mines We outlived a time That's long pa**ed away I thought we'd change things But we never changed a thing We never changed a thing There's a girl There's another That one looks familiar I think I knew her mother Wait a moment yet Have a cigarette They let us stand out here on the pavement Just look now, look all around Now that's what I call entertainment I thought we'd change things But we never changed a thing We never changed a thing
