The Likes Of You Again Lyrics

As I lay him down to sleep

It's been so long, since I lost my daddy-o

Hope he's watchin' over me

Wednesday night is mornin' now

As I'm walkin' in the rain

The birds are screaming in my ear

Drivin' me insane

Half the clouds are empty

So the sun burst through the sky

The puddles show reflection

Of a face about to die

Just around the corner, I was goin' round the bend

I ran into a staggerin' fool

Who said he knew my name

He poured himself a whiskey

And his face began to glow

Two men without an answer

Like a dog without a bone

Bringin' in the new year

As the bells began to ring

Fats is in the corner, she's just about to sing

Time to get another, before the final shout

You should have heard them roarin'

When they dragged the bugger out

And we'll never see the likes of you again

Jimbo came from slummin' town

A cold and dreary place

To summerland he found himself

The sun shun on his face

Met a girl called Minnie Pearl

Swore she'd always be his girl

Happy ever after, till the tide ran out again

Pour me all your sorrows

And I'll drink till you are dry

I'll love you in the mornin'

Christ, I'll love ya till you die

I'll never leave so never grieve

I'll be back before ya know

But Jimbo fell into a well

And never rambled home

Carried all his troubles in an unforgivin' bag

Back and forth through painted brick

The colours all seemed bland

I've traveled all these years, he said

To only get this far, so he crossed the street

Found a seat, his home is now a bar

And we'll never see the likes of you again

There must be more to life, than this poxie life

All the agro, all the pain

So he disappeared into his final beer

But the glass was empty, once again, again, again

Woke up in an awful state

Dreamt I was at Peter's Gate

Beggin' for his mercy

And the crimes that were at hand

He told me he was much amused

To see this life I had abused

Best be on your way, but have a swig before you go

So I'm bringing in the New Year

As the bells began to ring

Fat's in the corner, she's just about to sing

Time to get another, before the final shout

You should have heard them roarin'

When they dragged the bugger out

And we'll never see the likes of you again
