Around The Plynth

Woken up on mornings such as this Thought exactly the same as I'm thinking now Every night for a year I've slept alone Cold damp room looks worse than me, no no no Got a fear of death that creeps on every night I know I won't die soon but then again I might Water down the drain, I'm wasting away Doctors can't help the ghost of a man that's me, no no Water down the drain goes to the sea The pattern of my life keeps a-haunting me Moisture from the ocean fills the sky I come on down to the ground as the time goes by, no no no Slow down there I never found out the reason, why? Why my parents had to lie About the place that I was born Or from the hometown I was torn At the tender age of four I was livin' by homemade law I never knew when it was to be laid My desires are never displayed I never knew what it was to be loved I never knew what it was to be laid I never knew what it was to win I never knew what it was to be loved, no no no Ah, get on up there I never knew what it was to be laid No no no no no no no
