Low Life

I like walking in the park
When it gets late at night
I move round in the dark
And leave when it gets light
I sit around by day
Tied up in chains so tight
These crazy words of mine
So wrong they could be right

What do i get out of this
I always try, i always miss
One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone
One of these days when you sit by yourself
You'll realise you can't shaft without someone else
In the end you will submit
It's got to hurt you a little bit

I like talking in my sleep
When people work so hard
They need what they can keep
A choice that leaves them scarred
A view without a room
Unveils the truth so soon
And when the sun goes down
You've lost what you had found

What do i get out of this
I always try, i always miss
One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone
One of these days when you sit by yourself
You'll realise you can't shaft without someone else
In the end you will submit
It's got to hurt you a little bit

What do i get out of this
I always try, i always miss
One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone
One of these days when you sit by yourself
You'll realise you can't shaft without someone else
In the end you will submit
It's got to hurt you a little bit

What do i get out of this
I always try, i always miss
One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone
One of these days when you sit by yourself
You'll realise you can't shaft without someone else
In the end you will submit
It's got to hurt you a little bit

What do i get out of this
I always try, i always miss
One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone

Oh i've just come
From the land of the sun
From a war that must be won
In the name of truth
With our soldiers so brave
Your freedom we will save
With our rifles and grenades
And some help from god
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see

You just can't believe
The joy i did recieve
When i finally got my leave
And i was going home
Oh i flew through the sky
My convictions could not lie
For my country i would die
And i will see it soon
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see

When i walked through the door
My wife she lay upon the floor
And with tears her eyes were sore
I did not know why
Then i looked into her hand
And i saw the telegram
That said that i was a brave, brave man
But that i was dead
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see

Ever since i've seen your face
This life of mine has gone to waste
I was young and you were old
And i always knew you were cold
At the start you had a heart
But in the end you lost your friend
Can you see your own dark face?
It's dieing in a lonely place

Oh, how i cannot bear the thought of you
I said, oh, how i cannot bear the thought of you

As we get old, we lose our place
Reflecting back the world's disgrace
I feel so low, i feel so humble
Sometimes in life we take a tumble
Don't let anybody tell you that you're no good
Cause you know they would
Don't let anybody tell you what you should do
Cause it's not that way and...

Oh, how i cannot bear the thought of you
I said, oh, how i cannot bear the thought of you
We were young and we were pure
And life was just an open door
I said oh, oh, how i cannot bear the thought of you

You were me and i was you
This world of ours it felt brand new
You took me a little further...
I heard it all before, i've heard it all before
I can't hear it anymore
Your hair was long, your eyes was blue
Guess what i'm gonna do to you

Oh, how i cannot bear the thought of you
I said, oh, how i cannot bear the thought of you
We were young and we were pure
And life was just an open door
I said oh, oh, how i cannot bear the thought...
Oh, how i cannot bear the thought of you
I said oh, oh, how i cannot bear the thought of you
We were young and we were pure...

Hello, everyone, it's nice to be here
I've come so far to see you all
I can see your deep blue eyes
They sleep beneath the open sky
Before you stands one like your brother
Swear to god he needs no other
But how can i afford to be
Here with you so carelessly
You know what you did was so unkind
You search for the life we need to find
There's right and there's wrong
And there's good and there's bad
And there's an answer to this i wish i had

Oh, you know what i mean, yes you do
Oh, you know what i mean, yes you do

Well we had a party in our hotel last night
It ended up in an awful fight
My friend left me and my heart too
I hope i don't end up like you

Oh, you know what i mean, yes you do
Oh, you know what i mean, yes you do

Your country is a wonderful place
It pales my england into disgrace
To buy a drink that is so much more reasonable
I think i'll go there when it gets seasonable
You know what you did was so unkind
You search for the life you need to find
There's right and there's wrong
And there's good and there's bad
And there's an answer to this i wish i had

Oh, you know what i mean, yes you do
Oh, you know what i mean, yes you do
