Handbags Gladrags Meaning

[[Verse 1]
Ever seen a blind man cross the road
Trying to make the other side?
Ever seen a young girl growing old
Trying to make herself a bride?

[Chorus 1]
So what becomes of you my love
When they have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
That your grandad had to sweat so you could buy?
Baby

[Verse 2]
Once I was a young man
And all I thought I had to do was smile
You are still a young girl
And you bought everything in style
Listen

[Chorus 2]
But once you think you’re in, you’re out
‘Cause you don’t mean a single thing without
The handbags and the gladrags
That your grandad had to sweat so you could buy
Ooh
, [Bridge]
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And take a bottle full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
And bake them all in a pie

[Chorus 3]
They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old granddad had to sweat to buy
Oh, woah

[Outro]
They told me you missed school today
So I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old granddad had to sweat to buy ya, baby
Bye, bye]
