Lyrics The Boxer (From "Intolerable Cruelty") - Movie Sounds Unlimited
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,
a
man
hears
what
he
wants
to
hear
And
disregards
the
rest.
When
I
left
my
home
And
my
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.
Lie-la-lie...
Asking
only
workman's
wages
I
come
looking
for
a
job,
But
I
get
no
offers,
Just
a
come-on
from
the
whores
On
Seventh
Avenue
I
do
declare,
There
were
times
when
I
was
so
Lonesome
I
took
some
comfort
there.
Lie-la-lie...
Then
I′m
laying
out
my
winter
clothes
And
wishing
I
was
gone,
Going
home
Where
the
New
York
City
winters
Aren't
bleeding
me,
Leading
me,
Going
home.
In
the
clearing
stands
a
boxer,
And
a
fighter
by
his
trade
And
he
carries
the
reminders
Of
ev'ry
glove
that
laid
him
down
And
cut
him
till
he
cried
out
In
his
anger
and
his
shame,
"I
am
leaving,
I
am
leaving."
But
the
fighter
still
remains
Lie-la-lie...
