If It Kills Me |
| If it kills me, snuffs out the lamp for ever more |
| Kicks me senseless, leaves me bleedin' at your door |
| At least it won’t hurt anymore |
| Theres a screamin' in my head |
| And a rattlin' deep inside |
| And it wasn’t the dozen odd jars that I swallowed last night |
| I just don’t feel right |
| If it rises in my throat and I fall down chokin' |
| Just drag me out o’er the old hill |
| If it kills me… and it probably will |
| When it comes in ashen robes to claim me in the night |
| Will you polish my brogues and button my collar down tight |
| Christ, I must look a sight |
| When they carry me away don’t let 'em hear you cry |
| Or thankin' the saints that I finally fucked off and died |
| I was leavin' anyway |
| If it snatches me away or it takes me slow |
| Like cheap liquor and homemade pills |
| If it kills me… and it probably will |
| Oh one man’s shit is another man’s sugar, just leave it outside and you’ll see |
| It’s gone the same day though tonight you’ll bring someone else’s old shit home |
| to me |
| You squander your favours like a bawdy old sailor and laugh while I beg for the |
| change |
| Oh, you’re cruel and you’re strange |
| Will you see me? |
| Will I cross your room each night? |
| Or do the sulphurous lamps of this city all burn too bright? |
| You should really get away |
| From the concrete and the wire, the long and angry days |
| Y’know they’re hardly the stuff to set your soul ablaze |
| You’ve been smoulderin' for years |
| If it rips through my veins, tears me flesh from bone |
| I’ll hear the voices of the faithful «You'll never walk alone…» |
| If it kills me, if you wake and I’m gone |
| If I’m dust on the wind and you’re left to your own |
| I’ll love you… if it kills me |
| And it probably will |
