| It’s a shame that some must go without
|
| But I was no fool to think it might be my problem
|
| Needy hands were reaching out
|
| I kept my spare change and my pride in a tight fist (in a tight fist)
|
| And now at the last
|
| Everything is changed in this pale light
|
| That death has cast on all I’ve done
|
| On all I’ve done, on all I’ve done
|
| I’m a good man on the whole
|
| Who can blame me for looking out for number one
|
| I never killed, I never stole
|
| A small indulgence now and then, So what of it?
|
| I’m a good man, I’m a good man
|
| Am I good man? |
| I thought I was
|
| But the rewards of this life now count for naught
|
| My body soon buried and left to rot
|
| The time’s gone, how quickly it all has past
|
| My God, now I see how I’ve squandered each and every breath
|
| Now at the last
|
| Everything is changed in this pale light
|
| That death has cast on all I’ve done
|
| Now at the last
|
| Everything is changed in this pale light
|
| And looking back I am undone
|
| I am undone |
