Handbags And Gladrags (Live Unplugged Version)
Rod Stewart
Ever seen a blind
man cross the road
trying to make the other side
<Interlude>
Ever seen a young girl
growing old
trying to make herself a bride
So what becomes of you my love
When they have finally
stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
That your Grandad had to
sweat so you could buy
<Interlude>
Once I was a young man
and all I thought
I had to do was smile
You are still a young girl
and you bought
everything in style
But once you think you're
in you're out
'cause you don't mean a single
thing without
the handbags and the gladrags
that your Grandad had
to sweat to buy
<Interlude>
Sing a song of six
pence for your sake
And take a bottle full of rye
Four and twenty
blackbirds in a cake
And bake them all in a pie
They told me you
missed school today
So what I suggest you just
throw them all away
the handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Granddad had
to sweat to buy
<Interlude>
They told me you
missed school today
So I suggest you just
throw them all away
the handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Granddad had
to sweat to buy ya
