Crucifiction Lane

You`d better listen anybody, `cos I`m gonna make it clear That my life is unimportant; what I`ve done I did through fear There`s 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 can`t say it, never mind Can`t you hear me mother calling you? I`m cold, I`m deaf, I`m blind And if only `cos you`re lucky, we both know that`s no find I did think I`d be an actor. What I am I`ll leave behind You`d better listen anybody, `cos it`s me and you --that`s it And in case you find your maker perhaps you`ll 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 don`t think you`d 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 it`s just as well
