Story behind the song
A Recession song. There are a handful on my new album. On this one our narrator has had his luxury goods repossessed and is rediscovering the simple agonies of poverty.
Lyrics
HOLES IN THE SOLES OF YOUR SHOES Today they came for the carpets And took the telly aswell And losing them made you wonder If there's anything at all in here That's yours to sell Well, yesterday I was a dreamer And now tomorrow I've nothing left to lose But nothing makes you feel like you're nothing Like the holes in the soles of your shoes You hide your hands in your pockets And keep the feeling in your fingers for now You keep the wind out a little longer If your collars up as high as your coat'll allow Still hits you like an explosion And every step will shorten the fuse Nothing makes you feel like you're nothing Like the holes in the soles of your shoes WORDS AND MUSIC BY JOE SOLO
