I was just about nineteen |
| [00:35.370] |
When I landed on their shore |
| [00:37.490] |
With my eyes big as headlights |
| [00:39.910] |
Like the thousands and thousands who came before |
| [00:42.350] |
I was going to be something |
| [00:44.680] |
Smiled at the man scrutinising my face |
| [00:48.190] |
As I stepped down off the gangway |
| [00:54.600] |
I came down to their city |
| [00:57.020] |
Where I worked for many's the year |
| [01:00.000] |
Built a hundred houses |
| [01:02.190] |
Must've pulled half a million pints of beer |
| [01:04.590] |
Living under suspicion |
| [01:07.130] |
Putting up with the hatred and fear in their eyes |
| [01:10.370] |
You can see that you're nothing but a murderer |
| [01:13.120] |
In their eyes, we're nothing but a bunch of murderers |
| [01:19.570] |
Hey, Johnny, can't wait till Saturday night! |
| [01:24.170] |
Got a thirst that's raging |
| [01:27.400] |
Know a place where we can put that right |
| [01:29.380] |
Wash away the confusion |
| [01:31.680] |
Hose down this fire inside |
| [01:33.830] |
But look out! |
| [01:38.590] |
I said look out |
| [01:39.800] |
'Cause I'll tear you into pieces if you cross me. |
| [01:51.550] |
I'm sick of watching them break up |
| [01:54.060] |
Every time some bird brain puts us down |
| [01:56.530] |
Making jokes on the radio |
| [01:58.840] |
Guess it helps them all drown out the sound |
| [02:01.700] |
Of the crumbling foundations |
| [02:03.880] |
Any fool can see the writing on the wall |
| [02:07.030] |
But they just don't believe that its happening. |
| [02:18.460] |
There's a crowd says I'm alright |
| [02:21.560] |
Say they like my turn of phrase |
| [02:23.480] |
Take me round to their parties |
| [02:25.950] |
Like some dressed up monkey in a cage |
| [02:28.510] |
And I play my accordion |
| [02:30.910] |
Oh! but when the wine seeps through the facade |
| [02:34.300] |
It's nothing but the same old story |
| [02:38.450] |
It's nothing but the same old story |
| [02:43.640] |
Hey, Johnny, can't wait till Saturday night! |
| [02:48.420] |
Got a thirst that's raging |
| [02:50.460] |
Know a place where we can put that right |
| [02:53.520] |
Wash away the confusion |
| [02:55.890] |
Hose down this fire inside |
| [02:58.180] |
But look out! |
| [03:04.110] |
'Cause I'll tear you into pieces if you cross me. |
| [03:25.340] |
I got a brother in Boston |
| [03:28.030] |
Says he'll send me on the fare |
| [03:30.530] |
Just wrote me a letter |
| [03:32.830] |
Making out that he's cleaning up out there |
| [03:35.510] |
Two cars in the driveway |
| [03:37.960] |
Summer house way down on the Cape |
| [03:39.860] |
And I know he'd fix me up in the morning |
| [03:47.850] |
I've been thinking about it |
| [03:50.940] |
But it seems so far to go |
| [03:53.030] |
People say in the winter |
| [03:55.490] |
you'd get lost underneath the snow |
| [03:57.910] |
And there's this girl from my home place |
| [04:00.310] |
We've been planning to move back and give it a try |
| [04:04.600] |
So I never got around to going |
| [04:06.900] |
That's why I never got around to going |
| [04:13.170] |
Hey, Johnny, can't wait till Saturday night! |
| [04:17.900] |
Got a thirst that's raging . . . |
| [04:20.440] |
Know a place where we can put that right |
| [04:23.150] |
Wash away the confusion |
| [04:25.410] |
Hose down this fire inside |
| [04:27.820] |
But look out! |
| [05:04.940] |
Look out |
