I got a drunk on a screw top
Vino rosso per me
I'm gone cough up my larynx
Only I hear I say
See you hollering, see you howl
Cause we're down and out now
Rose-heavy screw top wine
Beat it mine
You ain't on it, you on drought
Beat about
Take it back for them, beat it out
You'll go back for them, beat it out when
Lose yourself for them, beat it out
The Flame Still Flickers in the Fen

(trad.)
Black smokes a'rising and it surely is a train
Surely is a train boys, surely is a train
I'm on my long journey home
Lost all my money but a two dollar bill
Two dollar bill boys, two dollar bill
I'm on my long journey home
Homesick and lonesome and I'm feeling kind of blue
Feeling kind of blue boys, feeling kind of blue
I'm on my long journey home
It's dark and it's raining and I want to go home
I want to go home boys, I want to go home
I'm on my long journey home

As I left London it had just started to snow
And the leaves had all let go
And the cars had all blown out their windows
As I watched my body die, my skin, my hair and then my eyes
A curse upon these auburn skies
Jesus Christ ain't twice as nice, as our far ancient sacrifice
Any way to cling to life
But I don't know what you've got me for but I think so
And I don't know what you love me for but I think so
As old Joni once did say "we're all stardust anyway"
And gamma rays made sure of this
Oh those rays made sure of this today
All of this to cope with floods
The sky spewed ash, dust, claps and thuds
We got out here on the dubs
We got out here, understood?
We got out but at what cost to us?

Well he’s got you in raptures, getting gloucestered in the backyard
Smiling and dancing like a boy
Proclaim love in southpaw, beat it out on the back lawn
Wiling and dancing like a boy
Well you once had a true love but not anymore
You gave your heart gladly like never before
But now he won’t have you he says that you’re through
Well thats alright my darling thats alright by you
Spied the moment that you gave up
You were down out on your luck
Crying and dancing like a boy
Proclaim love like an outlaw, out on this encore
Wiling and dancing like a boy
Well he wrote you a letter, says he’s found a new girl
You’ll dance at their wedding, parade, sing, unfurl
You’ll drink to the bride-groom, as if you don’t care
And if you don’t get home you’ll sleep on the stairs
Because my paradise keeps me going
And the wind in the wires keep showing that
In all that I want and all that I do
I’m better off without you
