pogues
the sunnyside of the street
Seen the carnival at Rome Had the women I had the booze All I can remember now Is little kids without no shoes So I saw that train And I got on it With a heartful of hate And a lust for vomit Now I'm walking on the sunnyside of the street Stepped over bodies in Bombay Tried to make it to the U.S.A. Ended up in Nepal Up on the roof with nothing at all And I knew that day I was going to stay Right where I am, on the sunnyside of the street Been in a palace, been in a jail I just don't want to be reborn a snail Just want to spend eternity Right where I am, on the sunnyside of the street As my mother wept it was then I swore To take my life as I would a whore I know I'm better than before I will not be reconstructed Just wanna stay right here On the sunnyside of the street.
