Sadie's House
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.
Sadie has a house on Wellington Avenue
that she bought and paid for herself
sometimes she stays awake a little too late
and she lays in 'til late afternoon
but she lets anybody in
she lets anybody in
she lets anybody at all in through her door
she says I can let them hurt me but I don't
I can let them hurt me but I won't
I can make excuses but I don't
'cause it's my life, my life
and I'm gonna live it my way
what comfort can be found in a church hall
Michael takes a little bit when he can
he's had the same job for thirty years
and he still goes home to his Momma every night
but he won't ever raise his hand
he won't ever raise his hand
no one's ever gonna make him mad that way
he says, I can let them hurt me but I won't
I can let them hurt me but I won't
I can make excuses but I don't
'cause it's my life, my life
and I'm gonna live it my way
it's my life, my life
I'm gonna live it my way
there are people you can meet they've got gold in their hearts
you won't ever know unless you ask
there's a sea of shimmering, shining souls out there
too soon before the moment's past
it's passing us by
it's passing us by
Sadie has a house on Wellington Avenue
Michael takes his comfort where he can
and downtown the kids are hanging out, they're just wasting their time
repeating all their lines right on cue
they're breaking the bough
they're breaking the bough
they're waiting for the cradle to fall down
they say I can let them hurt me but I won't
I can let them hurt me but I won't
I can make excuses but I don't
'cause it's my life, it's my life
and I'm gonna live it, I'm gonna live it, I'm gonna live it my way
my life
my way
