Suffocate |
| Paddy maintains we’re all yellow inside; |
| gun smoke got him and no mistake |
| Say he wants his car on the road, he can’t even locate the brakes |
| He’d give his kingdom for a drink he would, he’d sell his mother like he sold |
| his blood |
| Waiting for dole satisfies him, Paddy didn’t even learn how to swim |
| But you go crazy if you think about it, you don’t think about it |
| You suffocate. |
| Backs against the wall and let the building fall |
| It may not be the perfect life but its better than none at all |
| 18 beats 21 you bet, it’s all just a gag John, no sweat |
| The old man says he still needs a hand and the neighbours only ever want |
| cigarettes |
| Drinks in the evening, everybody’s emigrating |
| Or planning for it any way, oh it’s all the same old thing |
| Come out of your Celtic twilight kids; |
| join the bums down here by the bank |
| We’re all having a rare aul time, put another drop of the juice in the tank |
| Rise there, Paddy, rise, forget your stupid pride |
| Oh the state of us, what the hell is happening? |
| It’s a hard life when grown men can’t afford the price of a packet of ten |
