The Sunnyside Of The Street - Live At The Olympia, Paris / 2012
Seen the carnivals at Rome
Had the women I had the booze
All that I remember now
Is little kids without no shoes
So I saw that train and I got on it
With a heartful of hate, 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 USA
Ended up in Nepal
Up on the roof with nothing at all
I knew that day
I was goinna stay right where I am
On the sunnyside of the street
Been in a palace and I been in a jail
Just don't wanna be reborn a snail
Just wanna 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
Gonna 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
That was the brass section
This is called "Thousands Are Sailing"
Phil wrote it
He recall a song but he's forced to do
We're all bit rusty a bit
Had the women I had the booze
All that I remember now
Is little kids without no shoes
So I saw that train and I got on it
With a heartful of hate, 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 USA
Ended up in Nepal
Up on the roof with nothing at all
I knew that day
I was goinna stay right where I am
On the sunnyside of the street
Been in a palace and I been in a jail
Just don't wanna be reborn a snail
Just wanna 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
Gonna 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
That was the brass section
This is called "Thousands Are Sailing"
Phil wrote it
He recall a song but he's forced to do
We're all bit rusty a bit
