Lyrics

0:10It was seven o'clock in the morning
0:14Too late to handle the day
0:18At home it was only two thirty
0:22The skin on my wrists turning grey
0:27Stood up wished us good luck
0:31He changed his attitudes twice
0:35The box in the corner shivered in fear
0:39He was tired and hungry for days
0:45The next year she bought a new stomach
0:50From Liverpool made in Detroit
0:54Constantly passing old matches
0:58Some sentries and millionaires
1:02Who did Gallagher did
1:06The same old thing every time
1:11Gave up more empty cups
1:14They were tired and hungry for nights
1:57It made life a little easier
2:01To have Holland on the run
2:06It didn't take that long to forget her
2:10My old man and his gun
2:15Rushed out lions about
2:19Wasting away on advice
2:23A hundred and three 400 or more
2:27It'll haunt you for the rest of your life
It was seven o'clock in the morning
Too late to handle the day
At home it was only two thirty
The skin on my wrists turning grey
Stood up  wished us good luck
He changed his attitudes twice
The box in the corner shivered in fear
He was tired and hungry for days
The next year she bought a new stomach
From Liverpool made in Detroit
Constantly passing old matches
Some sentries and millionaires
Who did  Gallagher did
The same old thing every time
Gave up  more empty cups
They were tired and hungry for nights
It made life a little easier
To have Holland on the run
It didn't take that long to forget her
My old man and his gun
Rushed out  lions about
Wasting away on advice
A hundred and three  400 or more
It'll haunt you for the rest of your life
