1000 SONGS - DAY 288 SONG # 319

DAY 288: A Beautiful Song About Poor People

Brendan Croker from Leeds will turn 60 on August 15, 2013. You may know him as a part-time member of the Mekons, a member of Sally Timms' Drifting Cowgirls or of the Notting Hillbillies. He has also recorded some albums under his own name, together with The Five O' Clock Shadows. From the 1989 album Brendan Croker and The 5 O'Clock Shadows, here is "No Money at All" featuring Mark Knopfler on guitar (as anybody who has ever heard Knopfler play the guitar would have easily found out by listening to the tune). Enjoy!



When the morning rolls around
For you and me and the lonely town
Some people got no money at all

Everyday and every night
You can hear their cry
You can see their fright
Some people got no money at all

Everywhere you see their face
On the TV screen, in the market place
Some people got no money at all

There are times when we forget
There are times we all remember
But yet some people got no money at all

This song is almost done
And everything will carry on
Some people got no money at all

And when I am dead and gone
Someone else will be singing a song
And it goes
Some people got no money at all
