The Copper Scrapper's Blues

[Verse] A pocket full of pennies, copper gleam so bright, Clanging in me sack through the darkest of nights, Riffs and rumbles, banknotes crumbled, Every man I meet, scavenger humbled. [Verse 2] We drink a pint, we dance a tune, But them shiny coins ain't a silver boon, A heavy heart, a pocket slight, Money woes despite the jig and delight. [Chorus] Copper riches, weigh me down, Lost it all, the talk of the town, Shamrocks’d trade for gold so high, But in copper dreams, we lie. [Bridge] Boots clinking, streets they're sinking, Copper fables had me thinking, Throw a pebble in the wishing well, Found fortune's heart in a leaf to sell. [Verse 3] Pound the anvil, shape the tale, Hands calloused, journey stale, Silver promises faded, optimism jaded, Copper shadow in the light's been shaded. [Chorus] Copper riches, weigh me down, Lost it all, the talk of the town, Shamrocks’d trade for gold so high, But in copper dreams, we lie.
