Pinchgut |
| If I buy you a drink will you leave me alone? |
| I’m a bug-eyed young stranger 'round here |
| I’ll tell ye nowt ye don’t already know |
| And my brogues too thick for your ear |
| See I landed this mornin' unwashed and unfed |
| Yer man thought I were Greek, wouldn’t give me a bed |
| And I’ve walked all o' Sydney wi' a heart of pure lead |
| And a half a warm bottle of beer |
| Tho my room lay as quiet as the old guns o' Pinchgut |
| My heart beats a lonesome & steady tattoo |
| For a smile that I met on the boat frae Southampton |
| Oh Christ! |
| What am I gonnae do? |
| D’ye know I’m a full qualified engineer? |
| Tho the paper I’ve got’s no good to me here |
| We built the damned ships that brought you all here |
| All we’re good for is digging a hole! |
| Oh your frosty old evening commands me respect |
| And your sun locks its jaws on the back of me neck |
| As I pocket me pride & line up for a cheque |
| Oh Christ! |
| What am I gonnae do? |
| Oh Christ! |
| what am I gonnae do? |
| If you buy me a drink, I’ll leave you alone |
| I’ve talked your damned ears off, its time you were home |
| Spare me the floorboards, I’ll dig you a hole |
| Big enough to swallow the moon |
