The Rumjacks - Blows & Unkind Words lyrics

Oh, now come fellow traveller
Bend an ear t'ward me
Come cease all yer rabble & row
All yer shrill empty laughter is
Slicin' right through me
And there's feck all so funny no never
No how ye'd as well tell the Devil
His work is complete
We'll sing ‘share the love' but
We can't share the streets
It's the kick in the arse it's
The kiss on the cheek
It's the blows & unkind words

My conscience rings like a siller bell & I
Can waltz like a dervish my dear
Two boots full o' gravel
Through your blazin' hell
With a shit-smeared grin from ear to ear
Some hearts are like lightning in a bottle
And others like a moth in a can
Some hearts are a Dead Sea apple
A poison to God & man
I'm the sweetest bag o' rats
That you've ever seen
I look like trouble & I walk like a king
It's my thing, why bawl when I can sing
Of all the blows & unkind words?
You get around gob draggin' on the ground
Like lifes gone pissin' in yer mince
Were you bullied as a child?
Abandoned to the wild?
And been blamin' every fucker ever since?
We're all born blind but we're
Born with a spine
So get up & stop hatin' all the world
Keep callin' out to me ‘cos
It's growin' hard to see
Through all the blows & unkind words

Oh get back to yer corners
Ye filthy wee savages
No terror hast though for the brave
Wi' yer four letter words all
At three second intervals
Two clicks away from a frosty old grave
If ye're spoilin' tae rumble then
Piss off to war and for all o' yer
Trouble get hee-feckin' haw
For we're staunch
Fit & proud and we'll suffer no more
O' yer blows & unkind words

Let the putrid little shites while
Away their lonely nights
Sayin' all they wouldn't dare by light of day
And if the church or the state can't
Find a cure for all the hate
Then I can't find the need
To vote or even pray
Ding dang Daisy go ahead & call me crazy
But this shootin' match could
All be over soon and the big fat dame with
The foreign sounding name
Is backstage firin' up a tune

Oh you've a penny, I've a pound
Let's get drunk & fuck around
We'll barricade the door against the world
A kiss o' life before you leave
‘cos it's growin' hard to breathe
Through all the blows & unkind words

You've a penny, I've a pound
Let's get drunk & fuck around
We'll barricade the door against the world
I can't take another night
Watchin' grown men fight
To music made for teenage girls
I can't take another night
Watchin' grown men fight
To music made for teenage girls

You've a penny, I've a pound
Let's get drunk & fuck around
We'll barricade the door against the world
I can't take another night
Watchin' grown men fight
To music made for teenage girls
To music made for teenage girls
Oh! To music made for teenage girls
