Blood Or Whiskey - Deathwatch lyrics

rate me

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
