I can type with me toes
Suck stout through me nose
And where it's gonna end
God only knows

I've been loving you a long time
Down all the years, down all the days
And I've cried for all your troubles
Smiled at your funny little ways

Still there's a light I hold before me
You're the measure of my dreams

Thanking Christ for the BBC

Down Rain Street

Give me a cup of sweet poitin

About a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball

I've been spat on and shat on
And raped and abused.

Down the dirty old street
The Angel of the East is calling
And with a trembling hand
I open up a can
I can hear a baby bawling

Here a tower shining bright
Once stood gleaming in the night
Where now
There's just the rubble in the hole
from White City
