I was a happy boy living on the dole 
When you came and ruined it all on me 
I'd sit for hours all day in my good friend's home 
Smoking cigarettes and drinking tea 
We were so happy there, talk our lives away 
Talking 'bout our hopes and all our dreams 
Till you came round one day with your great big plan 
And you tried to ruin me with your schemes 
And your Mammy and your Daddy well they call you Mary 
But they shoulda called you Deathwatch 
Shoulda called you Deathwatch 
Cause you nearly were the death of me 
Lads told me you were no good I turned them away 
Said that you just wanted things from me 
Then you made me get a job and I understood 
I was in too deep I'd not be free 
And then I gave up drink cos you asked me too 
I was shaving each day before long 
Then you said we had to save for a mortgage soon 
That was when the light began to dawn 
Didn't even say goodbye just walked away 
From the burderns you had put on me 
Don't know why I even tried to be something I'm not 
All I know's I wanted to be free 
Now I'm a happy boy living on the dole 
Smoking cigarettes and drinking tea 
I'll find some other girl to have me as I am 
You can take your twisted love to sea
