STEAL SMOKED FISH
Across the Burnside Bridge before anyone shot their movies there
We hid from the whipping rain
When we had run out of cocaine
Dispatch down to Plaid Pantry
With two on point and two on sentry
Ah, the joys that the lesser days bring
Make you throw back your heads and sing
God bless all petty thieves
With tins of oysters up their sleeves
And feast when you can
And dream when there's nothing to feast on
Across a different bridge today
Over the river and down Broadway
Feels so good to have you here
Some of you will be dead next year
I see your destinies above you
Like angels who don't love you
Let them kiss you and hold you tight
As long as the moneys right
God bless all my old friends
And god bless me too, why pretend?
Feast when you can
And dream when there's nothing to feast on
God bless the guys from my old neighbourhood
Gone past the point where any blessings can do them any good
Attach the C4 where you must
Disappear in a cloud of dust
But spare a thought for what it covers up
Pour a triple and raise your cup
We were here once me and my friends
But we destroyed all the evidence
And vanished into the night
At least we got that one right
God bless us, all of us, who learned to shun the light
God bless all vampires every night
Feast when you can
Feast when you can
Feast when you can
Feast when you can
We hid from the whipping rain
When we had run out of cocaine
Dispatch down to Plaid Pantry
With two on point and two on sentry
Ah, the joys that the lesser days bring
Make you throw back your heads and sing
God bless all petty thieves
With tins of oysters up their sleeves
And feast when you can
And dream when there's nothing to feast on
Across a different bridge today
Over the river and down Broadway
Feels so good to have you here
Some of you will be dead next year
I see your destinies above you
Like angels who don't love you
Let them kiss you and hold you tight
As long as the moneys right
God bless all my old friends
And god bless me too, why pretend?
Feast when you can
And dream when there's nothing to feast on
God bless the guys from my old neighbourhood
Gone past the point where any blessings can do them any good
Attach the C4 where you must
Disappear in a cloud of dust
But spare a thought for what it covers up
Pour a triple and raise your cup
We were here once me and my friends
But we destroyed all the evidence
And vanished into the night
At least we got that one right
God bless us, all of us, who learned to shun the light
God bless all vampires every night
Feast when you can
Feast when you can
Feast when you can
Feast when you can
