Gallagher & Lyle Lyrics
"Dan"

See the man
see the head of silver grey
see the lines crossed
see the man
see the chance is tossed away
see the time lost time lost

Dan in the days gone down
kept a bag and slept around
and he used to clean his shoes
with rubs of Margarine
Dan in the days gone down
kept a tune and sang around
played the clubs and made enough
to sing another day

those heart despairing days on the dole
as any man from thirty nine will know
and Dan the only man to keep his soul
as any friend of Dan's will tell you so.

Dan in the days gone down
kept a crease and held a seat
underneath the mackintosh he
almost washed away
Dan in the days gone down
left a note to save the world

instrumental 8 bars

See the man
see the head of silver grey
see the lines crossed
see the man
see the chance is tossed away
see the time lost time lost
Dan
