The Sunnyside of the Street

The Pogues -The Sunnyside Of The Street

Seen the carnival at Rome

Had the women I had the booze

All I can remember now

Is little kids without no shoes

So I saw that train

And I got on it

With a heartful of hate

And a lust for vomit

Now I'm walking on the sunnyside of the street

Stepped over bodies in Bombay

Tried to make it to the U S A

Ended up in Nepal

Up on the roof with nothing at all

And I knew that day

I was going to stay

Right where I am on the sunnyside of the street

Been in a palace been in a jail

I just don't want to be reborn a snail

Just want to spend eternity

Right where I am on the sunnyside of the street

As my mother wept it was then I swore

To take my life as I would a whore

I know I'm better than before

I will not be reconstructed

Just wanna stay right here

On the sunnyside of the street

The sunnyside of the street

The sunnyside of the street

The sunnyside of the street
