<poem> | |||
Say, Billy Budd | |||
So you think you should? | |||
Everyone's laughing! | |||
Say, Billy Budd | |||
So you think that you should? | |||
Everyone's laughing! | |||
Since I took up with you | |||
Things have been bad | |||
Yeah, but now it's 12 years on | |||
Now it's 12 years on | |||
Yes, and I took up with you | |||
I took my job application into town | |||
Did you hear? They turned me down | |||
Yes, and it's all because of us | |||
And what was in our eyes | |||
And what was in our eyes | |||
Say, Billy Budd | |||
I would happily lose both of my legs | |||
I would lose both of my legs | |||
If it meant you could be free | |||
If it meant you could be free | |||
("Don't leave us in the dark") | |||
