Firewater

Album: Get off The Cross, We Need The Wood For The Fire (1996)

After 29 years

On the stroke of 13

I woke up from my life

Like it was all just a bad dream

My get up and go

Had just got up and split

After you ground me under your heel

Like a spent cigarette

When your memory's crashed

When your out on the tiles

Just remember that

Everyone loves a good kid

Who can loose with a smile

When they break both your legs

Don't come running to me

And baby if you were drowning

I'd throw you a funeral wreath

When I burn this place down

I'll make sure you're around

Girl, I want you to see

The big smile on my face

As I hitch a ride out of town

Well, I ain't gonna come to your party

But baby, I'm sure gonna dance on your grave

It's the least I can do

For the time that I spent as your slave

Umm.. Always heard "I'd throw you a funeral wreath" as "I'd blow you a funeral riff".Though, throwing the wreath sounds sound contextually correct and it's more like "wreath" pronounced here, unlike my worn tape.
