Lyrics

He’s got a fire in his belly

I could never tell him

I’m the one who’s always getting the blame

now we have removed the bottle

I’m teething and I’m tired

Everything is just as it was, the same

Everything is just as it was, the same

A craving’s quiet but it’s plenty

I stop and count to twenty

Twenty of the worst things that I can think

Twenty of the worst things that I can think

Twenty of the worst things that I can think

The playgrounds silent and it’s empty

The locals soon forget me

I don’t have the skill for playing your game

The Priest sings in the hope and ruin

The drunkard starts to boo him

Propping up the gossip and his good name

Propping up the gossip and his good name

The shame is awesome but its fleeting

Gets seen to with a beating

Half the clergy came to hear the man sing

Half the clergy came to hear the man sing

Half the clergy came to hear the man sing

They’re laying flowers by the bus stop

Some poor old junkie’s lucks up

Took a man and woman on the same day

His right leg shorter than the other

The second eldest brother

Goes to see his mother every Sunday

Goes to see his mother every Sunday

He wrote a song for Elvis Presley

But Elvis never heard it

Whistling an old tune as the bell rings

Whistling an old tune as the bell rings

Whistling an old tune as the bell rings

He’s got a fire in his belly

I could never tell him

I’m the one who’s always getting the blame

now we have removed the bottle

I’m teething and I’m tired

Everything is just as it was, the same

Everything is just as it was, the same

A craving’s quiet but it’s plenty

I stop and count to twenty

Twenty of the worst things that I can think

Twenty of the worst things that I can think

Twenty of the worst things that I can think
