Come Around

My life is of little consequence
My raison d'etre makes no sense
All I can say in my defence is
I never was cruel

I live in a house with a barbed-wire fence
Rarely go out coz it makes no sense
All of the bars are so expensive
I dare not go in

If you come around
If you come around here
If you come around
Will you bring some beer
That isn't so dear

I work at a job but I don't earn much
Hours are few so it all adds up
Don't spend my time in the Dog and Duck, no
That isn't my style

But I do like a drink to forget myself
Laughter with friends is good for your health
Won't ever lead to spectacular wealth, no
That bothers me not

If you come around
If you come around here
If you come around
Will you bring some beer
That isn't so dear

Listen to me girl, take a look in my eyes
I'm not messing with you girl, I ain't telling you lies
Did I promise you the world, did I swear on my life?
You look pretty without pearls and I know you're my wife, yeah

(Guitar break)

If you come around
If you come around here
If you come around
Will you bring some beer
That isn't so dear

If you come around
If you come around here
If you come around
Will you bring some beer
That isn't so dear

That isn't so dear
That isn't so dear
We need good cheer
