lyrics

Another morning in the Penny Black
My pupils spill as my eyes roll back
I'm wearing a Kid Rock cap
I found on the ground

Open 5am to midday
For the sorters on their way
Home from their working day
But the depot closed long ago

There's a Gordon at the top of the flight
Throw you back down if you're here to fight
Another Gordon behind the bar
His nose so red it glows

A middle-aged Glaswegian man
Puts a pill in my hand
He's halfway through a three-day stand
It's his first time in Edinburgh

A tweaking youth's in some mental strife
I try to help but I might get knifed
So I turn and talk to a girl

She tells her friends she thinks I'm on cocaine
He talks about himself
The subject doesn't ever ever change

Back on the street people going to work
A legless man is trying to flirt
With a woman in a business skirt
He slips and falls on his face

Another morning in the Penny Black
Another morning in the Penny Black
Another morning in the Penny...
