I went down to St. James Infirmary
To see my baby there
She was lying on a cold dark table
So sweet, so still, so fair

Let her go, let her go, god help her
Wherever she may be
They can search the wide world over
But they’ll never find a man like me
When she left, I went down to the river
Though the cold, dead trees
There I stood, in the murk and the darkness
There I sold my soul to thee

It’s winter again,
Seems nothing has changed.
Still stuck in these four walls I can count the days.
The faint light’s always shinning,
But it’s getting hard to see. It’s winter again,
I wish it’d shine on me.

I need an inspiration A different occupation
I need a reason for a change in my ways.
I crave a new tomorrow A picture of Picasso
I have to take a little energy.

It’d New Year again,
Better make my list.
I swear this’ll be my year,
You see I must insist.
The goal post’s always marching In a constant state of flux.
But I’m still stuck in these four walls You see I,
I don’t move too much.

I need an inspiration…

If I could act
And make the clocks go backAlthough my odds are stackedI’d be with youI was younger then,
I’ve learnt a thing or two sinceI’m more experiencedBut so are you
In spite of me,
You
always tried to see
The honest guy in meYou thought you knewI wish you’d like to seeThe brand new side of meThat only I can seeBut you should too
And all the things I felt I didn’t want beforeThat I missed when you left meI knew I didn’t need you then but now I’m really not so sureAnd I helped you forget me
I miss the way
You’d tell me every dayThat you would never strayOr treat me coldBut the mess I madeIt led to changeWe went our separate waysAnd it’s all my fault
I’d let you downGive you the mess aroundSince you I’ve never foundOne better for meRight here and nowI wear the tears of a clownWish you were here in townBut that can’t be
And I was too busy believing what I was told to believe
But I ain’t since I lost youThey told me love just led to heartbreakAnd taught me that one add one makes threeBut I’ve learnt what it can cost you
And it’s strange but it’s trueI didn’t know quite what I neededBut now I’m pretty sure I doBecause I thought it throughTook a look in the mirrorI was just a beginnerI was just a beginner when I met you
I knew I didn’t need you then but now I’m really not so sureAnd I helped you forget meYeah I helped you forget meBut it’s your fault,
You let me

Oh now,Oh now,

Hmmm.
