The Proclaimers - It Broke My Heart lyrics

Saw a man who was fifty-one He bad married daughters and a single son And he's lost his job as this years begun And it broke my heart Saw his wife who was fifty-two She said she was sure they could make it through That her single wage would just have to do And it broke my heart Talked about it with the family now What began in sadness ended up a row All the guys with the clever mouths They were saying we should move south Saw the son who's been gone two weeks And he's down already with a job to seek And he's in kings cross and theres no-one speaking And it broke my heart.
