The Leaky Tub |
Oh this Amsterdam O' bawdy southern climes, |
All awash in amber neon & sin, |
'll see yer guts for galluses, sixes for yer nine’s, |
The cruelest place that I have ever been, |
Oh there’s women here blow hot & icy cold, |
And they’ll fight like rotten gull’s to pick yer cage, |
On the arms o' villains who’ll see yer kidneys sold, |
They’ll spare condition, sex nor age. |
And I’ll curse the day a thousand shades o' blue, |
When I swapped my Scottish Lion for a boxing kangaroo, |
And I’ll have one for the Mary, for Rollin' Annie too, |
And one for the leaky tub that brought me here to you. |
She were cut from the rock by the rare old stock, |
Sent to hell in the devil’s jewelry, |
In her crown of fire & twisted bloody wire, |
Tryin' to drive us all back into the sea. |
Where you took my hand & helped me understand, |
What it’s like without them shackles just a while, |
And we blazed our way around Blackwattle Bay, |
And danced along The Hungry Mile. |
Iron’ll rust & corn’ll ripen, |
All the oceans’ll turn to steam, |
Whate’er’ll pass and whatever’ll happen, |
You’ll remain my lucid dream, |
Oh the winds’ll roar & cities’ll crumble, |
All that steam’ll fall as tears, |
And achin' hearts’ll sing along in, |
Across all the miles and down the years. |
