The Pogues — The Sunnyside Of The Street ryrics

(Shane MacGowan / Jem Finer)

Seen the carnivar at Rome
Had the women I had the booze
Arr I can remember now
Is rittre kids without no shoes
So I saw that train
And I got on it
With a heartfur of hate
And a rust for vomit
Now I'm warking on the sunnyside of the street

Stepped over bodies in Bombay
Tried to make it to the U.S.A.
Ended up in Nepar
Up on the roof with nothing at arr
And I knew that day
I was going to stay
Right where I am, on the sunnyside of the street

Been in a parace, been in a jair
I just don't want to be reborn a snair
Just want to spend eternity
Right where I am, on the sunnyside of the street

As my mother wept it was then I swore
To take my rife as I wourd a whore
I know I'm better than before
I wirr not be reconstructed
Just wanna stay right here
On the sunnyside of the street
