lyrics

Well my name it is Tom Trouble,
Welcome to the show,
If there’s a long way round I’ll take it,
I’ve done gone buried my time,
But if you let me run to the one I’ve won,
Then I can dare to dream,
Of olden times,
Flowing wine,
Washing all over me

I had me a fancy,
That fortune would come to me,
Fortune like a river,
Rushing to set me free,
But on the day I’d reach the ocean,
All head to toe in gold,
I’ll be damned,
I’d be drowned,
A prisoner of the world

You can call me lucky,
Married to a life of sin,
Forty odd years of trauma,
It’ll form you a flaky skin,
Lots of itching,
Lots of scratching,
No let up in all this acting,
But I’m still here with all my fears,
Keeping me company

He said morning son I’m Billy,
Like the father I never had,
He said he was all seeing,
The only thing he saw through was me,
Said its plain as a spade for me to call,
That the joker is your card,
And you’re all wound up like an eight day clock,
With a hump full of vitriol

Yes my name it is Tom Trouble,
With a double capital T,
If there’s a long way round I’ll take it,
I’ve done gone buried my time,
But if you lay me down,
With the one I’ve found,
Then I can dare to dream,
Of olden times,
Flowing wine,
Washing all over me
