The Pogues Follow

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 heart full 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

On the sunnyside of the street

Been in a palace, been in a jail
Just don't want to be reborn a snail
Just want to spend eternity
Right where I am, 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

Sunnyside of the street
Sunnyside of the street
Sunnyside of the street

Seen the carnival at Rome
Had the women I had the booze
All I can remember now
