Leftovers Johnny Flynn

[Verse 1]
I've been drooling at some mangy scraps of bread
And these hungry voices make a lot of noise inside my head
Show me the way to the rubbish dump or the bins at closing time
I've walked a mile just to catch a smile from a fish without its brine

[Verse 2]
Been hanging round the underground, found a couple of crumbs down there
Was lucky and got some flotsam from a girl with long brown hair
And she said her name was Mary May and she liked the springtime most
She said she left her meals half-ate, she said, and she left the crusts on toast

[Chorus]
Leftovers is what I want
Don't need no fine cuisine
Give me a dime for a bacon rind
Or slip me some of that old sardine

[Verse 3]
She'd been seeing a man named Jim; I said I didn't mind
Said the second place is just my style, like glasses for the blind
I felt she was keen to come, and I knew I'd met my match
And I was sure that I had locked the door and she had dropped the latch

[Chorus]
Leftovers is what I want
Don't need no fine cuisine
Give me a dime for a bacon rind
Or slip me some of that old sardine
