Press Gang |
Pecked by the seagulls, hanging from the gallows |
Twisting in the breeze, dripping something on the streets |
I can see him from my window, they can see him from the water |
Just a victim of the press gang |
I knew him when he was breathing |
He was a good man, he was a young man |
He was like you, he was like me |
It could’ve been me |
It could’ve been me |
Twisting in the breeze |
(Cut him down, cut him down) |
Left for the children on the street |
(Cut him down, cut him down) |
On the street |
He should’ve kept his mouth shut |
He never shoulda left that ship |
Don’t go drinking down by the docks |
You don’t know if you’ll wake up |
I knew him when he was breathing |
He was a good man, he was a young man |
He was like you, he was like me |
It could’ve been me |
It could’ve been me |
Twisting in the breeze |
(Cut him down, cut him down) |
Left for the children on the street |
(Cut him down, cut him down) |
On the street |
Woke up on the water |
No one ever asked him if he wanted to go |
Didn’t have any options |
He was smart — he got out when he could |
Should’ve stayed in the Pacific |
Should’ve stayed in the Pacific |
Coulda had it good |
Any island, any island wouldn’t do |
Any island wouldn’t do |
I knew him when he was breathing |
He was a good man, he was a young man |
He was like you, he was like me |
It could’ve been you |
It should’ve been me |
But it shoulda been the press gang |
(Cut him down, cut him down) |
But it shoulda been the press gang |
(Cut him down, cut him down) |
Cut him down, cut him down |
Cut him down |
