Pinchgut লিরিক্স

If I buy you a drink will you leave me alone? I’m a bug-eyed young stranger ‘round here I’ll tell ye nowt ye don’t already know And my brogues too thick for your ear See I landed this mornin’ unwashed and unfed Yer man thought I were greek, wouldn’t give me a bed And I’ve walked all o’ sydney wi’ a heart of pure lead And a half a warm bottle of beer Tho my room lay as quiet as the old guns o’ pinchgut My heart beats a lonesome & steady tattoo For a smile that I met on the boat frae southampton Oh christ! What am I gonnae do? D’ye know I’m a full qualified engineer? Tho the paper I’ve got’s no good to me here We built the damned ships that brought you all here All we’re good for is digging a hole Oh your frosty old evening commands me respect And your sun locks its jaws on the back of me neck As I pocket me pride & line up for a cheque Oh christ! What am I gonnae do? Oh christ! What am I gonnae do? If you buy me a drink, I’ll leave you alone I’ve talked your damned ears off, its time you were home Spare me the floorboards, I’ll dig you a hole Big enough to swallow the moon
