Different Drummer |
Born on a black monday, me mother screamin' curses |
Me ould lad in the pub losin' money on the horses |
Me granny kicked in the door, said «get a job you bastard» |
And i come rollin' into the world, a walkin' talkin' disaster |
With a toot on the flute and a twiddle on the fiddle oh |
Music in me soul and a beat on me boombox oh |
Up down turn around and crash into the wall |
Dancin' to the beat of me own different drummer oh |
At the age of 16 years i was apprenticed to a grocer |
But they never knew me name, all they wanted was 'yes and no sir' |
So i bought a cheap guitar, i learnt to write me poetry |
And me and rock and roll set off to see the country |
Oh we played in pubs and dancehalls, we even played in brothels |
I learned all about the good life through the ass end of a bottle |
I learned about love from many’s the fine lady |
But i was always searchin' for me one true darlin' baby |
Oh i searched from coast to coast from florida to canada |
With me heart upon me sleeve screamin' out «hi, where are yeh» |
Til i went home with a six foot girl from the south side of chicago |
But it turned out she was a man, oh can you imagine the disaster? |
But the sweetest girl of all was from the state of california |
Oh she took me home to bed, kept me rockin til the mornin' |
Then the door came crashin' in, in the midst of me shenanigans |
And her husband beat me up so bad, i’ll never get it up again |
Oh i’m goin' back to brooklyn with me tail between me legs oh |
I’m givin' up this rock and roll, 'tis far too dangerous work oh |
Stay at your steady jobs, me boys, get married and have babies |
And keep the hell away from them california ladies |
