Crucifiction Lane
Youd better listen anybody, cos Im gonna make it clear
that my life is unimportant; what Ive done I did through fear
Theres a river running through me: on its tide I tried to hide
nonetheless I could not shake it, and in the end it swept aside
all my feeble unimportance. I cant say it, never mind
Cant you hear me mother calling you? Im cold, Im deaf, Im blind
And if only cos youre lucky, we both know thats no find
I did think Id be an actor. What I am Ill leave behind
Youd better listen anybody, cos its me and you --thats it
and in case you find your maker perhaps youll plead for us a bit
All my sick is in my stomach, all my sweat is clearly fear
and if you could see inside me I dont think youd have me here
Tell the helmsman veer to starboard, bring this ship around to port
and if the sea was not so salty I could sink instead of walk
And in case of passing strangers who are standing where I fell
tell the truth: you never knew me, and in truth its just as well
