Hey there mister can you spare a pound - you must have a few bob
You look like you´ve got a home, a wife, a car, a job
You look like you held your head up high in all you did
Tell me how you´d feel if I turned out to be your kid.

Chorus:

Hey there - don´t stare at me
Hey there --don´t stare at me
I just fell out of the game
You might think I´m nobody
But I used to have a name

Tell me when you go to work is your name up on the door?
Family photo on the desk - Axminster on the floor?
Tell me when you come home is the dinner ready cooked?
Does the wife inform you that your squash court has been booked?

Chorus:

Hey there - don´t stare at me...

What do you call a stray dog who´s begging for a bone?
What do you call a homeless man whose pillow is a stone?
What are you going to call me when I´ve finally gone away?
When you´ll meet another ten like me again today?

Chorus:

Why do they stare at me?
They always stare at me because I fell out of the game
You might think I´m nobody
But I used to have a name
