Blood Or Whiskey Deathwatch Lyrics

Deathwatch Lyrics

I was a happy boy living on the dole 



When you came and ruined it all on me 



I'd sit for hours all day in my good friend's home 



Smoking cigarettes and drinking tea 



We were so happy there, talk our lives away 



Talking 'bout our hopes and all our dreams 



Till you came round one day with your great big plan 



And you tried to ruin me with your schemes 



And your Mammy and your Daddy well they call you Mary 



But they shoulda called you Deathwatch 



Shoulda called you Deathwatch 



Cause you nearly were the death of me 



Lads told me you were no good I turned them away 



Said that you just wanted things from me 



Then you made me get a job and I understood 



I was in too deep I'd not be free 



And then I gave up drink cos you asked me too 



I was shaving each day before long 



Then you said we had to save for a mortgage soon 



That was when the light began to dawn 



Didn't even say goodbye just walked away 



From the burderns you had put on me 



Don't know why I even tried to be something I'm not 



All I know's I wanted to be free 



Now I'm a happy boy living on the dole 



Smoking cigarettes and drinking tea 



I'll find some other girl to have me as I am 



You can take your twisted love to sea
