lyrics

BLOOD LETTING
I would’ve played for England but my boots were made of lead now I love to hear a story that turns out for the best it’s plain for all to see that footballs tidal like the sea now all I do is in order to forget it some nights I spill more than pints bloodletting I am a wicked man but I’ve paid for what I am and what did you do to make you so full proof I don’t need to be told that it hurts to grow old the sergeant smiles could be worth your while confessing and if you like I’ll give you the knife bloodletting rolling skulls like bowling wire brush bones no lubrication trepanning to leeches shock waves to the system who knows where you’ll fix me I was the number one contender until a voice in me remembered try to love your fellow man and help him when you can but luckily within a week I’d regained my vicious streak now sometimes I can feel myself regressing and I’ll flatten you in order to forget it one night when you think your fine bloodletting bloodletting ha ha wha la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la ala.
