lyrics

All I ever wanted
Was a nice raincoat
And a clock tower
On the hour would stroke

All I ever wanted
Was a goldfish bowl
With something inside it
For when I came home

And one chance
At an audience
One chance
To prove
To people
I’m not acquainted with
Who judged me, yeah, a bit too soon

There were
Four, five, six,
Seven of them
Dressed to the hilt
Like Princeton gentlemen

What was I to do?
What was I to do?
What was I to do?
What was I to do?

What was I to do?
What was I to do?
What was I to do?
What was I to do?

All I ever wanted
Was a big black gun
And the chance to fire
When that time come

All I ever saw
Was a bright, red flame
Everything appeared just that way

At my one chance
At an audience
One chance
To prove
To people
I’m not acquainted with
They judged me, yeah, a bit too soon

There were eight, nine, ten,
Eleven of them
Dressed to be killed
Like Princeton gentlemen

What was I to do?
What was I to do?
What was I to do?
What was I to do?

What was I to do?
What was I to do?
What was I to do?
What was I to do?
