Swear Like A Sailor

from Northey Sessions by Old Towns

lyrics

You ask what's got me down, I don't frequent this part of town
I don't know my way around
I'm always running late, it's hard to concentrate
my nerves have been shaking since I started my day

Sometimes it feels like I'm caving in

Hey friend tell me what's new, let's get together for a beer or two
I always drink my fill
I know it's getting late, I find it hard to concentrate
when the spirits are saturating my veins

Sometime it feels like I'm caving in

Walk past the corner store, nothing good happens after 4 in the morning
hey Rob it's time to head home
You said I made my bed and now I have to lie in it
well I think I'd rather sleep in the street

so if I'm the burden, well goddamn, mercy me
at times I feel deserted but I'll still land on my own two feet

You ask what's got me down, I don't frequent this part of town
I don't know my way around
I'm always running late, it's hard to concentrate
my nerves have been shaking since I started my day

Sometimes it feels like I'm caving in
sometimes my mind feels like a prison
so from this bottle I'll drink deep
then send me out to sea
