"Gamblin' Bar Room Blues" lyrics
"Gamblin' Bar Room Blues"
(originally by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band)
Yo-hee, yo-hee
You're just as drunk as me
Yo-hee, yo-hee
Headin' for the deep blue sea
I went down to the corner, just for to meet my pal
I found him on the sidewalk, talking to my gal
I went back to the bar room, to get another drink of gin
First thing I knew, I was reeling, rocking drunk again
Yo-hee, yo-hee
You're just as drunk as me
Yo-hee, yo-hee
Headin' for the deep blue sea
I kept on drinking liquor, to way out in the night
My pal came into the bar room, we had an awful fight
I reached down for my razor and then we messed around
But when I drew my pistol, I quickly smoked him down
Yo-hee, yo-hee
You're just as drunk as me
Yo-hee, yo-hee
Headin' for the deep blue sea
So, I headed on back to the bar room, stopping in at the bar
And there I met a policeman, sitting in a motor car
We kept drinking lots of liquor, that flat-footed cop and I
I thought he would never leave me. I knew that he had to die
And I laid my head on the bar room floor
I'll never get drunk anymore
I pawned my watch, my golden chain
I pawned my baby's diamond ring
Yo-hee, yo-hee
You're just as drunk as me
Yo-hee, yo-hee
Headin' for the deep blue sea
Yo-hee, yo-hee
You're just as drunk as me
Yo-hee, yo-hee
Headin' for the deep blue sea

The Verve - "History" I wander lonely streets
Behind where the old Thames does flow
And in every face I meet
Reminds me of what I have run from
In every man, in every hand
In every kiss, you understand
That living...
Richard Ashcroft - "Check The Meaning" When I'm low, and I'm weak, and I'm lost
I don't know who I can trust
Paranoia, the destroyer, comes knocking on my door
You know the pain drifts to days, turns to nights
But it slowly will...
The Clash - "London Calling" London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared, and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look to us
Phoney...
Dodgy - "So Let Me Go Far" And in the morning I awoke
I turned my eyes towards the road
I swallowed hard and smelt the air
I curse this world for not being fair
Oh in the morning I awoke
Through the seasons I have journeyed...
