[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
