Where beggars take cheques and children steal credit cards
|
from the pockets of wrecks that lie the road.
|
I came to in my future and that was just yesterday,
|
unsure of my past that's a knot in my gut.
|
|
You buy me a drink then you think that you've got the right
|
to crawl in my head and rifle my soul.
|
You tell me I'm free then you want me to compromise
|
to sell out my dreams you say you'll make it worthwhile.
|
|
Oh, boys would you drink to me now
|
here on the hill, half way up, half way down
|
Oh, boys would you drink to me now
|
here on the hill, half way up, half way down
|
|
You tell me I'm drunk then you stand back and smug a while
|
convinced that you're right that you're still in command of your senses.
|
I laugh at your superior attitude
|
your insincere plattitudes make me throw up.
|
|
The sooner you realise I'm perfectly happy
|
if I'm left to decide the company I choose.
|
|
Oh, boys would you drink to me now
|
here on the hill, half way up, half way down
|
Oh for the company born to the company
|
live for the company until I die.
|
|
The sooner you realise I'm perfectly happy
|
if I'm left to decide the company I choose
|
The company I choose is solidly singular
|
totally trustworthy, straight and sincere
|
polished, experienced, witty and charming
|
so why don't you push off, this company's my own.
|
|
Oh, boys will you drink to me now
|
here on the hill, half way up, half way down
|
Oh, boys will you drink to me now
|
here on the hill, half way up, half way down
|
Oh for the company, dream of the company
|
live for the company until I die.
|
Oh for the company, dream of the company
|
drink to the company until we die
|
until we die
|
until we die.
