From Flannagan and Allen 1930-1940's Underneath the Arches I dream my dreams away Underneath the arches on cobblestones I lay Every night you'll Find me tired out and worn Happy when the day light comes creeping Heralding the dawn. I'm Sleeping when its raining and sleeping when its fine I hear the trains rushing by above Pavement is my pillow No matter where I stray Underneath the Arches I Dream my Dreams away And of Course from the same period, Al Boley killed in the London Blitz Once I built a railroad made it run Made it race against time Once I built a railroad now its gone Say Buddy can you spare a dime Once built a Tower To the sun made of rivets and lime Once I built a Tower now its done Hey buddy can you spare a dime Once in Khaki suits ah gee we looked swell full of that Yankee doodley down Half a million boots went marching through hell and I was the guy with the gun Oh say Don't you remember they called me Al it was Al all the time Say don't you remember I'm your pal say buddy can you spare a dime. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX It seems like the homeless are always with us and their story's never change. We do the best that we can. I sometimes think that writing songs won't help. Ah well............
