| [00:46.630] |
Pennies from heaven |
| [00:48.290] |
Don't make me laugh |
| [00:50.180] |
Here all you'll get |
| [00:51.420] |
Is the pattering rain |
| [00:53.510] |
Or yon two crows up over the hill |
| [00:57.200] |
Looking for winterkill |
| [01:01.140] |
Always at your boots |
| [01:03.130] |
The mud behind the byre |
| [01:06.470] |
With its clammy hold |
| [01:09.600] |
mock you up a grave |
| [01:10.760] |
Here in the mire of a wrecked sheepfold |
| [01:14.190] |
|
| [01:16.630] |
And all you'll bring to this |
| [01:18.800] |
Is muscle and grit |
| [01:21.260] |
Persistence, that's just about it |
| [01:24.700] |
What made you think |
| [01:25.590] |
There'd be a living in sheep? |
| [01:28.040] |
Eat, work, eat, work and sleep |
| [01:31.520] |
|
| [01:35.210] |
Duck under the eaves |
| [01:36.300] |
Of the bothy |
| [01:38.090] |
To sit here, caged by rain |
| [01:42.120] |
Somewhere to go conjure |
| [01:43.800] |
A next move |
| [01:44.910] |
When I have to think again |
| [01:50.190] |
The dog lifts his gaze to plead |
| [01:54.000] |
Believes the wizard has a magic stick |
| [01:57.100] |
Leans his weight into my tweed |
| [01:59.540] |
I give an unholy hand to lick |
| [02:01.940] |
|
| [02:04.700] |
I take a swig of sheep dip |
| [02:05.930] |
From my flask |
| [02:09.489] |
And once again I ask |
| [02:11.999] |
What made you think |
| [02:13.149] |
There'd be a living in sheep? |
| [02:15.499] |
Eat, work, eat, work and sleep |
| [02:19.279] |
|
| [02:42.740] |
They were at this game |
| [02:43.939] |
Two hundred years ago |
| [02:46.779] |
Had thirty ways |
| [02:47.779] |
Of dying young, poor souls |
| [02:50.470] |
Laid to rest in their soggy rows |
| [02:53.159] |
Rain on their holy books |
| [02:58.129] |
Blood and whisky |
| [02:59.779] |
On the tongue |
| [03:02.990] |
And no one watching over anyone |
| [03:06.990] |
No one left but your stubborn one |
| [03:09.389] |
And the crows and rooks |
| [03:12.929] |
|
| [03:15.809] |
Ah, the dying young |
| [03:19.989] |
Well I'm not done |
| [03:22.379] |
You watch me and I'll watch thee |
| [03:25.559] |
I can still work for two men |
| [03:27.509] |
And drink for three |
| [03:28.900] |
|
| [03:30.590] |
And I raise my flask |
| [03:30.889] |
To the clearing skies |
| [03:33.689] |
To you, sweepers |
| [03:34.820] |
You carrion spies |
| [03:38.070] |
To scavenge and survive |
| [03:41.049] |
If you can do it so can I |
| [03:43.889] |
|
