Lyrics
Small child messing down, messing down
In the streets of Bombay
Cities like this have no shame, no shame
Indeed why should they?
Out in the middle distance
Several tragedies at play
I'm beside myself
I'm beside myself
Big sister can you hear him, can you hear him?
I'm beside myself
Big sister can you see him cry, see him cry?
I'm beside myself
I saw you taking money in the shadows
In the shadows by the station there
I wish you up a silver train
To carry you to school, bring you home again
Strip off that work paint
And put a cleaner face on
I'm beside myself
Yeah, I'm beside myself
Hollow faced mother with her baited arms
Baited arms looks through me
Behind forgotten charms, forgotten charms
To soothe me
Between the guilt and charity
I feel the wimp inside of me
I'm beside myself
I'm beside myself
Out in the middle distance
Still more tragedies at play
I'm beside myself
I'm so proud of you
Swimming up from the deep blue
There's one of me do you want two?
I'm beside myself
Beside myself
I'm beside myself
Small child messing down, messing down
In the streets of Bombay
Cities like this have no shame, have no shame
Indeed why should they?
Out in the middle distance
Several tragedies at play
I'm beside myself
I'm beside myself
