Lyrics
First In Line
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Look me up with my head in my pocket
Look me up with my head in my pocket
To see her coming home
Well forgotten, say can't you see her
Well forgotten, say can't you see her
Moving down the line
And it's hard to live and it's hard to die
And it's hard to give your heart away
And oh, pretty girl, it's hard to steal
In April I was sleeping with an anchor
Thursday I was fishing in the harbor
where ladies sleep
And the sun will always shine upon your face
As your parents watched the silver screen
Stolen days, when freedom got its price
After the walk over frozen water
You held me down on the dirty backseat
Pressure of the hand and the fingers
And the pleasure won
And I will always go by your side
But it is hard to get drunk tonight
And It's hard to smoke your mother's cigarettes
Afraid of stealing, afraid of lying
Afraid of losing my mind
