about

Escaped prisoner wanted to get out to support his girl who is having thoughts of looking elsewhere. The convict has tried everything to get on in life

lyrics

Looking from the Outside

I wandered along the union canal
the roar of the furnace buried in the land
my hands were torn from the barb
my fleshy feet slapping on slab

I heard my girl was laying me down
saying she was young and had to look around
I fought hard to stay out of trouble
stayed away from the bars and the rabble
Looking from the outside

I recall the time she cried out in her sleep
we're in debt, we're in real deep
so I grabbed my shirt put on a tie
combed my hair and practised my lie
Looking from the outside

I sat at his desk and listened to this boy
telling me what I had to do to get employed
I said, son you ought to live where I'm from
I can't read let alone write this form
Looking from the outside
