| | | Artist: | Black 47 |
| | Album: | Home Of The Brave | | Track: | Different Drummer | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 315 | | | | Lyrics: | born on a black monday, me mother screamin' curses
me ould lad in the pub losin' money on the
horses
me granny kicked in the door, said "get a job you bastard"
and i come rollin' into
the world, a walkin' talkin' disaster
with a toot on the flute and a twiddle on the
fiddle oh
music in me soul and a beat on me boombox oh
up down turn around and crash into
the wall
dancin' to the beat of me own different drummer oh
at the age of 16 years i
was apprenticed to a grocer
but they never knew me name, all they wanted was 'yes and no
sir'
so i bought a cheap guitar, i learnt to write me poetry
and me and rock and roll set
off to see the country
oh we played in pubs and dancehalls, we even played in
brothels
i learned all about the good life through the ass end of a bottle
i learned about
love from many's the fine lady
but i was always searchin' for me one true darlin'
baby
oh i searched from coast to coast from florida to canada
with me heart upon me
sleeve screamin' out "hi, where are yeh"
til i went home with a six foot girl from the south
side of chicago
but it turned out she was a man, oh can you imagine the
disaster?
but the sweetest girl of all was from the state of california
oh she took
me home to bed, kept me rockin til the mornin'
then the door came crashin' in, in the midst of
me shenanigans
and her husband beat me up so bad, i'll never get it up again
oh i'm
goin' back to brooklyn with me tail between me legs oh
i'm givin' up this rock and roll, 'tis
far too dangerous work oh
stay at your steady jobs, me boys, get married and have
babies
and keep the hell away from them california ladies | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
