[00:32.200] |
I was just about nineteen |
[00:35.370] |
When I landed on their shore |
[00:37.490] |
With my eyes big as headlights |
[00:39.910] |
Like the thousands and thousands who came before |
[00:42.350] |
I was going to be something |
[00:44.680] |
Smiled at the man scrutinising my face |
[00:48.190] |
As I stepped down off the gangway |
[00:54.600] |
I came down to their city |
[00:57.020] |
Where I worked for many's the year |
[01:00.000] |
Built a hundred houses |
[01:02.190] |
Must've pulled half a million pints of beer |
[01:04.590] |
Living under suspicion |
[01:07.130] |
Putting up with the hatred and fear in their eyes |
[01:10.370] |
You can see that you're nothing but a murderer |
[01:13.120] |
In their eyes, we're nothing but a bunch of murderers |
[01:19.570] |
Hey, Johnny, can't wait till Saturday night! |
[01:24.170] |
Got a thirst that's raging |
[01:27.400] |
Know a place where we can put that right |
[01:29.380] |
Wash away the confusion |
[01:31.680] |
Hose down this fire inside |
[01:33.830] |
But look out! |
[01:38.590] |
I said look out |
[01:39.800] |
'Cause I'll tear you into pieces if you cross me. |
[01:51.550] |
I'm sick of watching them break up |
[01:54.060] |
Every time some bird brain puts us down |
[01:56.530] |
Making jokes on the radio |
[01:58.840] |
Guess it helps them all drown out the sound |
[02:01.700] |
Of the crumbling foundations |
[02:03.880] |
Any fool can see the writing on the wall |
[02:07.030] |
But they just don't believe that its happening. |
[02:18.460] |
There's a crowd says I'm alright |
[02:21.560] |
Say they like my turn of phrase |
[02:23.480] |
Take me round to their parties |
[02:25.950] |
Like some dressed up monkey in a cage |
[02:28.510] |
And I play my accordion |
[02:30.910] |
Oh! but when the wine seeps through the facade |
[02:34.300] |
It's nothing but the same old story |
[02:38.450] |
It's nothing but the same old story |
[02:43.640] |
Hey, Johnny, can't wait till Saturday night! |
[02:48.420] |
Got a thirst that's raging |
[02:50.460] |
Know a place where we can put that right |
[02:53.520] |
Wash away the confusion |
[02:55.890] |
Hose down this fire inside |
[02:58.180] |
But look out! |
[03:04.110] |
'Cause I'll tear you into pieces if you cross me. |
[03:25.340] |
I got a brother in Boston |
[03:28.030] |
Says he'll send me on the fare |
[03:30.530] |
Just wrote me a letter |
[03:32.830] |
Making out that he's cleaning up out there |
[03:35.510] |
Two cars in the driveway |
[03:37.960] |
Summer house way down on the Cape |
[03:39.860] |
And I know he'd fix me up in the morning |
[03:47.850] |
I've been thinking about it |
[03:50.940] |
But it seems so far to go |
[03:53.030] |
People say in the winter |
[03:55.490] |
you'd get lost underneath the snow |
[03:57.910] |
And there's this girl from my home place |
[04:00.310] |
We've been planning to move back and give it a try |
[04:04.600] |
So I never got around to going |
[04:06.900] |
That's why I never got around to going |
[04:13.170] |
Hey, Johnny, can't wait till Saturday night! |
[04:17.900] |
Got a thirst that's raging . . . |
[04:20.440] |
Know a place where we can put that right |
[04:23.150] |
Wash away the confusion |
[04:25.410] |
Hose down this fire inside |
[04:27.820] |
But look out! |
[05:04.940] |
Look out |
