Give Us A Break

about

Written by Tom Robinson.

lyrics

The many years that you have had me
Some went well and most went badly
That was nothing new
Lie in bed and think back sadly
Days we loved each other madly
Vanished in the blue

I come back home when I've been drinking
Tired and dirty, drunk and stinking
Broke and bitter, too
Shoot my mouth off without thinking
You just take it without blinking
Like you always do

Give us a break, that's all I ask
Won't you forgive me and try to bear with me
I've stolen just about everything that you could give me
So give us a break, that's all I ask...

Tried to work and sometimes made it
Ran in debt and sometimes paid it
Jobs came far and few
Thought of moving, then delayed it
Bit by bit our prospects faded
Always making do

Round the bookies, at the boozers
Drink my wages, back the losers
Still no change for you
Rent and tax men all but choke us
Hocked my raincoat at the brokers
To raise a bob or two

Give us a break, that's all I ask
People have used us, and creditors sued us
But beggars like us just can't be choosers
Give us a break, that's all I ask
