More Pricks Than Kicks - as perfomed by Shane MacGowan and The Popes

If you around we could go on the town
                           
Instead of just going on the booze
                                               
If you'd stayed in my life we'd kick up the high life
                            
Country Irish like we used to do
                       
And we'd drink and we'd dance
                       
And we'd dance and we'd drink
                       
And we'd drink and we'd dance
                       
And we'd dance and we'd drink

                                
So at my command will you take my hand
                        
And we'll dance the final dance
                         
But it's more pricks than kicks
              
That's what it is
                
I'm a scumbag, a lout,
                          
That's the way that things are

If you name me a street then I'll name you a bar
And I'll walk right through Hell just to buy you a jar
If you name me a street then I'll name you a bar
And I'll walk right through Hell just to buy you a jar

Break: (verse)   ,   ,   ,

       (verse)   ,   

But it's more pricks than kicks
That's what it is
I'm a scumbag, a lout,
That's the way that things are

If you name me a street then I'll choose you a bar
And I'll walk right through Hell just to buy you a jar
If you name me a street then I'll name you a bar
And I'll walk right through Hell just to buy you a jar
