And here I sit with a tear in my eye, the waters of Tyne in between you and I
And here I sit with a tear in my eye, the waters of Tyne in between you and I As a child I dreamed of her, on the far banks of the river I knew she could not be reached, for my mind was forever wondering Far above his head, as he tried his best to teach me The river was muddy and black, black as the coal she carried Impossible to cross, many men had tried The old sailor told me, another life is lost And here I sit with a tear in my eye, the waters of Tyne in between you and I And here I sit with a tear in my eye, the waters of Tyne in between you and I Black was the colour of my childish dreams, impressions that would last Black coal, coal black pit yacka's face, escaping the coal dust blast Blind pony stumblin' to the light of day, to retire in the green fields forever And I'll build me a bridge of steel, to beat the black river forever I'll beat that black river forever, I'll beat that muddy river forever And here I sit with a tear in my eye, the waters of Tyne in between you and I And here I sit with a tear in my eye, the waters of Tyne in between you and I Conversation in a London Bar: Cockney: I don't know why you geezers come down to London all the time, 'cause you look so miserable all the time, y'know. Geordie: That's true, I havna been too happy but what brought us down here was three years on the docks and I just come down here for work and for money and get a bit few, few more quid in me pocket. Cockney: Yeah, but coming down to the smoke, mate, you need people to see , you'll need friends, to goin' to see because it's a hard town down here. |

My leader told me to jump in the river
The river was deep and the weather was winter After a sailer very kindly saved me My leader told me, you'd better take it easy I took it so easy my leader called me lazy Through the lack of red meat Everything was getting hazy Friends looked at me and said, Man, you gotta be crazy Oh, oh leader My leader said son you'd better get yourself together never mind the fools who know what we're getting into But a forty mile walk would do us both a world of good and he sat down and watched me take off down the road Well, I walked so far my feet began to bleed If this was good for me I just couldn't see it A motorist picked me up and said Look man, you must be crazy Oh, oh leader Oh, oh leader My leader came to see me in a hospital bed Well at least I really knew that my leader really cared After giving me a second-hand roach He said where's your donation man, It's all for a good cause. He left me all alone to work the riddle out But I just couldn't make it so I began to shout They stuck a hypodermic deep down into me Said, look out nurse I think we got a loony Oh, oh leader Okay baby follow me now Follow your leader All right Now here I sit in a state-run asylum Limitless, friendless but much more together I decided to do some good book readin' About the art of people leadin' Now I'm the leader and they're being led What's the matter if they're crazy till you hear what I've said Being the leader is really where its at But just how long can a good thing last Oh, oh leader Oh, oh leader Now listen to this baby This is the year of the guru Now the thing to do is to ask yourself What can a guru do for me? Then you say to yourself I gotta get a guru |

On the corner by the square All the men were having drinks, same as usual And the same old crowd was there Oh, no... On my left stood my good friend, Joseph McGinley Oh his eyes were blood-shot and red And he turned to the people standing by him and these are the words he said... I went down to that St James Infirmary They had my baby there She was lying on a long, long white table, yeah So cold, so still...she was dead Oh no.. Let her go Let her go God bless her Wherever she may be She can search, search this whole world wide over But she'll never, find another man as good as me No she'll never, never find another man Who'll treat her like I did Give her all my money, yeah Never find another man like me No, she'll never Find another man Who'll treat her like I did |
