Wages of Sin

I was fixin' to love you it was all in vain I shouldn't talk about the things you needed me to explain From out of the cesspool of my heart and brain I'm just a product of my own sad past A mediocre boxer who was plain outclassed And now I'm kissing the canvas, I've been handed my ass Heading down the open road Sixteen wheels, heavy load Treads on tyres wearing thin Don't give me a lot of time To spend the wages of sin (And I got a lotta money coming in) Take me to Glasgow in an old Rolls Royce Where I can drown in Mariella Frostrup's voice Yeah, that's the way that I would check out, given the choice It's 'Farewell My Lovely', the best movie to screen It's 'Casablanca', it's 'The Searchers', it's 'All About Eve' When the world is too much for me, I don't know if I'm Jack or Steve Heading down the open road Sixteen wheels, heavy load Treads on tyres wearing thin Don't give me a lot of time To spend the wages of sin (And I got a lotta money coming in) I'm gonna love you forever cos a deal is a deal And you can make me come a running like you make a dog heel Or you can rub my nose in shit, depends on how you feel Heading down the open road Sixteen wheels, heavy load Treads on tyres wearing thin Don't give me a lot of time To spend the wages of sin (And I got a lotta money coming in)
