Forgotten People

The storage rooms of Liverpool
The terraces and high rise places
Stock the people found alone in death

They're picked up two or three a month
From terraces and high rise places
Forgotten people found alone in death

And no one here knows who they are
The terraces and high rise places
Hide the people found alone in death

No paper proof nor relative
In terraces and high rise places
Forgotten people found alone in death

A batchelor A widower
In terraces and high rise places
Still the people found alone in death

And sometimes awkward spinsters lie
In terraces and high rise places
Forgotten people found alone in death

Now spare a though for awkward ones
In terraces and high rise places
They're the people found alone in death

They're picked up two or three a month
From terraces and high rise places
Forgotten people found alone in death
