Lyrics & Information
Taken from the brilliant 'Shades of a Blue Orphanage' album. This features the signature yet unusual 3/4 shuffle timing which Lizzy employed on quite a few of their early songs. Great song that charts the sorrows of an alchoholic father that loves his wife very much, but can't help feeling depressed all the same. Yet still understands the importance of the love in his life.
Lyrics :-
I was seldom sober, in nineteen hundred and fifty-four
Hey baby, maybe 'cause my baby had a baby by me
And I was still drinking dry gin
While you cried no no more
And you were lyin' and a cryin',
And your tears fell dying on the floor
And I'm brought down,
And I don't think I can get up again
Brought down
And my heart is dead again
Brought down
Brought down
Brought down
What a fine lady in the early mornings
That always painted her toes
Lookin' toward the east
You'd say hello to the early dawn before they rose
And you were the lovely lady
That always hung up her finely pressed clothes
And sayin' so long to the western sundown
You taught me how it grows
And I'm brought down,
And I don't think I can get up again,
Brought down,
And you just hurt my heart again
Brought down
Brought down
I'm brought down!
[Superb bass and electric guitar fill with solo]
(Brought down)
(Brought down)
(Brought down)
I'm brought down
And I don't think I can get up again
I'm brought down
I'm hurt, It's bad!
God, it's a shame that there's no more Dr Strangely Strange!
And I'm brooooought down
Nothing worse before to life then this!
