Song title: Pogues - Sitting On Top Of The World

Edit By: 216.73.217.147

Well its been a long day but I dont like to moan
Its the middle of summer and Im chilled to the bone
Theres holes in my shoes where the rain comes in
Im sitting on top of the world

Walking in the shadows of empty office blocks
I was talking to a stranger and hes on the rocks
Down on the pavement living in a box
Im sitting on top of the world

Oh no cant anybody see
Its been a bad day and I want a little peace

Oh no wont you please help me
I want to lie down but theres no beds free

Down on the corner theres starry eyed preachers
Rattling cans and pimping jesus
Theres madmen on boxes makig speeches
Im sitting on top of the world

You cant sit in the sunshine or go out after dark
Theres dogs on the loose acting like sharks
Theres psychos on the streets burning winos in the park
Im sitting on top of the world

Oh no I wish I was gone
I want to get going before too long

Oh no I want to leave town
But I cant drive my car cause they put it in the pound

The masters of industry are killing for oil
Theres poison in the air the water and the soil
Were all turning mutant theyre counting up their spoils
Im sitting on top of the world

I turn on the tv and it makes me want to cry
Theres killing and theres torture theres destruction and theres lies
And our leaders talk rubbish and more people die
Im sitting on top of the world

Oh no I cant take anymore
Im shaking all over and my nerves are all raw

Oh no my heads a little sore
I want to get out but I cant find the door
