lyrics

Giving It All To Charity

Down on the corner, the doorway is warmer
Sits a lonely soul
She’s chilled to the bone; As there’s nowhere called home,
She can’t get any dole.
So come wind, rain or shine, she’s shivering time
Waiting for now or never.

So I’m giving it all to charity
I’m giving it all away today
Giving it all to charity
Giving it all away today

Out on the lash, with his hand out for cash
An old soldier begs
He fought in a war, then a landmine he bought,
Man, he lost both his legs.
He made it home from Iraq, fell through the cracks,
Where is his Queen and Country?

So I’m giving it all to charity
I’m giving it all away today
I’m giving it all to charity
Giving it all away today

Turning a trick, just to buy his next fix
Another soul goes by
He tried the rehab, the withdrawals were bad,
Bleeding out, crucified
Strung out, hung out to dry, He’s too low to fly
So he can’t see no future

So I’m giving it all to charity
I’m giving it all away today
I’m giving it all to charity
Giving it all away today…
