The Company |
Where beggars take cheques and children steal credit cards |
From the pockets of wrecks that lie the road |
I came to in my future and that was just yesterday |
Unsure of my past that’s a knot in my gut |
You buy me a drink then you think that you’ve got the right |
To crawl in my head and rifle my soul |
You tell me I’m free then you want me to compromise |
To sell out my dreams you say you’ll make it worthwhile |
Oh, boys would you drink to me now |
Here on the hill, half way up, half way down |
Oh, boys would you drink to me now |
Here on the hill, half way up, half way down |
You tell me I’m drunk then you stand back and smug a while |
Convinced that you’re right that you’re still in command of your senses |
I laugh at your superior attitude |
Your insincere plattitudes make me throw up |
The sooner you realise I’m perfectly happy |
If I’m left to decide the company I choose |
Oh, boys would you drink to me now |
Here on the hill, half way up, half way down |
Oh for the company born to the company |
Live for the company until I die |
The sooner you realise I’m perfectly happy |
If I’m left to decide the company I choose |
The company I choose is solidly singular |
Totally trustworthy, straight and sincere |
Polished, experienced, witty and charming |
So why don’t you push off, this company’s my own |
Oh, boys will you drink to me now |
Here on the hill, half way up, half way down |
Oh, boys will you drink to me now |
Here on the hill, half way up, half way down |
Oh for the company, dream of the company |
Live for the company until I die |
Oh for the company, dream of the company |
Drink to the company until we die |
Until we die |
Until we die |
