If I was a drunk I'd drink you off my mind If I was a stoner Well, I'd roll you up and get high Guess I'm a dreamer Wastin' all my time Stickin' around Givin' a damn what's on your mind I'm singin' for the last time No more words or rhymes Ain't know verse or two, or bridge about you That can keep you on my mind I'm singin' for the last time Yeah, I'm singin' for the last time If I had a car I'd slam it down in drive I'd cross a thousand miles Just to find a place to hide You wanna work things out Well, sorry not this time I hate the things that you do And the way that you move I ain't givin' it another try I'm singin' for the last time No more words or rhymes Ain't know verse or two, or bridge about you That can keep you on my mind I'm singin' for the last time Yeah, I'm singin' for the last time I'm singin' for the last time No more words or rhymes Ain't know verse or two, or bridge about you That can keep you on my mind I'm singin' for the last time No more words or rhymes Ain't know verse or two, or bridge about you That can keep you on my mind I'm singin' for the last time Yeah, I'm singin' for the last time Yeah, if I was a drunk

When the winds from the Eastern quarter, And there's a pungent taste of salt upon the breeze. Something troubles your insides Like a scum upon the tides, A something washed up on the beach down by the quays. Intuition's what a girl in love relies on I should've known he only wanted to be free I drew my line upon the sand Only a fool would ever stand Between a man--and his involvement with the sea And when the tide rolls out You'll find your bed is empty and he's gone So if you ever see me talking to a sailor Some scurvy no-good mongrel of a tar You knock the drink out of my hand Push me over where I stand Take a slug at me but somewhere I won't scar Pin my body to the ground And slap my face to bring me round Then you can roll my silly ass out of this bar. For a sailor's not a man to be trusted He'll bill and coo call you his "chickadee" Oh, but when he's had his way All you'll get is his "good day", Then he'll blow a kiss and scuttle back to sea. And when the tide rolls out You'll find your bed is empty and he's gone So if you ever see me talking to a sailor, And I blithely stand there passing time of day No, don't you hesitate to think Someone's tampered with your drink And he's shaking out your handbag in the time it takes to blink And all the booze you've ever bought him He's just throwing up in the sink Just call the funny farm and carry me away! For a sailor's not a man to be trusted He's treacherous as tides and hidden reefs And just to get you up the stairs He'll quote the Bible in his prayers And before you know he's bound for Tenerife And when the tide rolls out You'll find your house is empty and he's gone And when the tide rolls out You'll find your heart is empty and he's gone And when you become a woman of a certain age You'll find it's difficult to trust a man Difficult to gauge, when that bills rat who left you Without a living wage thinks there's still That tawdry glamour of the sea That, I swear to God's completely lost on me. So, if you ever hear me talking to a sailor Some mangy sea-dog skulking on the quay Ah, just remind me what I've said Or you can shoot me in the head And then throw my bleeding body in the sea! You'll find your bed is empty and he's--gone!

And if the morning comes too soon Draw the curtains in your room Lock the windows, bolt the doors To your abode My life started in a jumble sale box Down behind the office blocks I know I know If you see me walking down the street With nothing on my feet Would you stumble on my toes Or help me through? Everybody's somebody in someone's eyes To my surprise I'm yours I'm yours Well I chopped the name so she chopped the tree This world ain't got a place for me But I'm somebody's darling anyway Yes I am

The year was 1991 And I began to see And I just don't remember much Way too much for me And I preferred the chances they took Back in '65 People cared about living more than Being alive But darling now don't you say To me that I don't care And darling won't you give A second of your care To a man so badly blinded From the life of working hard She said no Remember all the working men Standing at the bar And I said I'll buy you, if you buy mine That'll take us far But I preferred the way it was Before I had to pay I seen some other man involved He tried to get away But I remember how it was back then Remmeber where you come from Remember who you are Don't you be no stranger no I know you've come too far Oh no no no no no
