Suffocate
(专辑: Unfinished Revolution - 1987)
Paddy maintains we're all yellow inside, gun smoke got him and no mistake Sez he wants his car on the
road, he can't even locate the
brakes He'd give his kingdom for a
drink he would, he'd sell his mother like he sold his blood Waiting for dole satisfies him, Paddy didn't even learn how to swim But you go crazy if you think about it, you don't think about it You suffocate... Backs against the
wall and let the
building fall It may not be the
perfect life but its better than none at all 18 beats 21 you bet, it's all just a
gag john, no sweat The
old man says he still needs a
hand and the
neighbours only ever want cigarettes Drinks in the
evening, everybody's emigrating Or planning for it any way, oh it's all the
same old thing But you go crazy if you think about it, you don't think about it You suffocate... Backs against the
wall and let the
building fall It may not be the
perfect life but its better than none at all Come out of your Celtic twilight kids, join the
bums down here by the
bank We're all having a
rare aul time, put another drop of the
juice in the
tank Rise there, Paddy, rise, forget your stupid pride Oh the
state of us, what the
hell is happening? It's a
hard life when grown men can't afford the
price of a
packet of ten But you go crazy if you think about it, you don't think about it You suffocate... Backs against the
wall and let the
building fall It may not be the
perfect life but its better than none at all
