There was no such place I felt better,
Between the bridges I was away.
No such place I felt that bad either,
Forced not to disobey.
I sat there watching the changing tide
And without a pen I learnt how to draw.
Between the lake and the seaside
I swam against the stream law.
How much for my soul?
What can you turn into gold?
How far will you go?
You’re killing me slowly
You’re killing me slow
You’re killing me slowly
You’re killing my girl
Once (in) a while I stop by the canal and I lay.
I still ask why.
You sell what you steal and you don’t get pay
And everybody cry.
And you stole that from me as I grew,
you stole that from us and you knew.
