"Boys From The County Hell" lyrics

"Boys From The County Hell"

On the first day of March, it was raining
It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen
I drank ten pints of beer and I cursed all the people there
I wished that all this rain would stop falling down on me

And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink
And mother, wake me early in the morning

At the time, I was working for a landlord
And he was the meanest bastard that you have ever seen
And to lose a single penny would grieve him awful sore
And he was a miserable bollocks and a bitch's bastard's whore

And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink
And mother, wake me early in the morning

I recall that we took care of him one Sunday
We got him out the back and we broke his fucking balls
And maybe that was dreaming and maybe that was real
But all I know is I left the place without a penny or fuck all

And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink
And mother, wake me early in the morning

But now I've the most charming of verandas
I sit and watch the junkies, the drunks, the pimps, the whores
Five green bottles sitting on the floor
I wish to Christ, I wish to Christ that I had fifteen more

And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink
And mother wake me early in the morning

And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink
And mother, wake me early in the morning

The boys and me are drunk and looking for you
We'll eat your frigging entrails and we won't give a damn
Me daddy was a blue shirt and my mother a madam
And my brother earned his medals at My Lai in Vietnam

And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink
And mother, wake me early in the morning

On the first day of March, it was raining
It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen
Stay on the other side of the road, 'cause you can never tell
We've a thirst like a gang of devils, we're the boys from the county hell

And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink
And mother, wake me early in the morning

And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink
And mother, wake me early in the morning
