The Sunnyside Of The Street

The Sunnyside Of The Street - The Pogues

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 heartful of hate

And a lust for vomit

Now I'm standing 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

I knew that day

I was going to stay

Right where I am

On the sunnyside of the street

Been in a palace

Been in a jail

I just don't want to be reborn a snail

Just want to spend eternity

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 stay right here

On the sunnyside of the street

On the sunnyside of the street

On the sunnyside of the street

On the sunnyside of the street
