This cruel country has driven me down
Teased me and lied, teased me and lied

This cruel country has driven me down
Teased me and lied, teased me and lied
Well, there’s a house in an alley
In the squats and low-rise
Oh, says Red Molly to James, “That’s a fine motorbike
A girl could feel special on any such like”
Let me rock you in my arms
I’ll hold you safe and small
Let me ride on the wall of death one more time
Let me ride on the wall of death one more time
She charmed me from my cocoon
She eclipsed the sun and the moon
I know the way
That I feel about you
Early on a Summer’s morning
I’m scratching, I’m yawning
Six in the morning she’s up there
Up on the Widow’s Walk
I hand you my ball and chain
You just hand me that same old refrain
