I had breakfast with St. Swithin

He was waiting on a train 

He said, "Tell me all your troubles boy, 

I won't be through this way again." 

I said, "There's a certain one, and 

Her beauty's like an engine." 

He said, "Hang on son, I've heard this one, 

And the rest ain't worth the mention." 



Said I'm sick of all you bleeding-hearts 

Hung up over skirts 

You always spend your money 

Just to end up feeling like dirt 

You sit home there alone 

Until all your youth is gone 

The bright lights of the city: 

They're waiting for you son. 



Let's go running through the streets (2x) 

Stop along and chat with everyone we meet

(repeat)



He brought me to the bars 

And he brought me around 'til one 

He dragged me here, and dragged me there 

Thought I'd never see the sun 

He dropped me on the corner 

I never saw him go 

I thought about his advice as I 

Walked home in the snow. 



Ain't got no wishing well 

&#xCuz dead men never tell 

And all rose up from hell tonight 

'Cuz I guess that's just as well 

I've never come in early 

And I've never come home late 

I've never sang out of key 

And I've never sang that great.
