The Company - Lyrics by Fish


Lyrics
Where beggars take cheques and children steal credit cardsfrom the pockets of wrecks in the middle of the road.I came to in my future and that was just yesterday,unsure of my past and that's a knot in my gut.
You buy me a drink then you think that you've got the rightto crawl in my head and rifle my soul.
You tell me I'm free and want me to compromiseto sell out my dreams you say you'll make it worthwhile.
Oh, boys would you drink to me nowhere on the hill, half way up, half way down
You tell me I'm drunk the you sit back and smug a whileconvinced that you're right that you're still in command of your senses.I laugh at your superior attitudeyour insincere plattitudes make me throw up.
Oh, boys would you drink to me nowhere on the hill, half way up, half way down
Oh, boys would you drink to me nowhere on the hill, half way up, half way down
Oh for the company born to the companylive for the company until I die.
The sooner you realise that I'm perfectly happyif I'm left to decide the company I choose
The company I choose is solidly singulartotally trustworthy, straight and sincerepolished, experienced, witty and charmingso why don't you push off, this company's my own.
Oh, boys would you drink to me nowhere on the hill, half way up, half way down
Oh, boys would you drink to me nowhere on the hill, half way up, half way down
Oh for the company, dream of the companylive for the company until I die.
Oh for the company, dream of the companydrink to the company until we dieuntil we dieuntil we die.
