lyrics

I put my hat on step outside,
its raining again.
Dark and cold, my necks exposed,
As I pull my scarf in tighter.

I don’t think I can go on,
no I don’t think I can go on.

Streetlight casts a yellow glow
on icy street below.
We gathered here on that funeral day,
seems like yesterday

I don’t think I can go on,
no I don’t think I can go on.

And there’s the field we’d run a play
football all day.
The heart was light, it seemed so bright,
I think I grew too fast

A misty path through an old church yard,
where I know God’s on guard.
Screeching cars, turf out from bars,
a distant drunkard shouting.

I don’t think I can go on,
no I don’t think I can go on.

A bustling queue to a dirty van,
through paper and lager cans
Young Asian man he gets a stare,
large group, white, don’t care.

I don’t think I can go on,
no I don’t think I can go on.

The noise it fades I move away,
see two shadows down an alley way.
They stop to kiss, embrace and smile,
then walk off hand in hand.

I don’t think I can go on,
no I don’t think I can go on.

Resigned pause as I push the door,
I don’t think I can take much more.
Stagger up towards my bed,
Drunk again I can rest my head.

I don’t think I can go on,
no I don’t think I can go on.

Roll a cigerette and toke it hard,
It’s still raining hard.
Sip the whisky from my flask,
getting through a day seems harder.

I don’t think I can go on,
no I don’t think I can go on.
