The Proclaimers — It Broke My Heart lyrics

Lyrics

Saw a man who was fifty-one
He bad married daughters and a single son
And heЂ™s lost his job as this years begun
And it broke my heart
Saw his wife who was fifty-two
She said she was sure they could make it through
That her single wage would just have to do And it broke my heart
Talked about it with the family now
What began in sadness ended up a row
All the guys with the clever mouths
They were saying we should move south
Saw the son whoЂ™s been gone two weeks
And heЂ™s down already with a job to seek
And heЂ™s in kings cross and theres no-one speaking
And it broke my heart.
