Me First And The Gimme Gimmes - The Boxer

[Originally by Simon & Garfunkel]
I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles
Such are promises

All lies and jest, still the man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest

When I left my home and family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station, running scared

Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know

La la li
