Too Short Arms (I Don`t Care) — текст песни (Mott)

(Morgan Fisher/Ray Major)


Last night I woke up on a subway train
Travelling round and round all night
My head was hurting and my clothes were torn
It must have been a hell of a fight

And you know it doesn`t feel so funny
When you`re waking up at half past eight
And they`ve taken all your stuff and your money
And you wonder was it something you said

Yes I know I ain`t exactly
A clean livin` boy
Sometimes it just ain`t fair
When I get home to you
After all I`ve been through
You`ll only scream and shout
`cos your money`s run out

I don`t care
If you go to work
I don`t care
If you stay at home
But if you go downtown
That you`re pulling around
Why don`t you leave me alone

You said to me that I`m wasting my life
I`ve played it just like your fool
You`re no give and no talk
I guess it won`t get too far
It ain`t done me no harm
It don`t follow me at all

You said to me that I`ve been wasting your time
Your gonna find another man
I`ve had all I can take
Won`t you give us a break
I`m sick and tired of people trying to tell me what I am

I don`t care
If I go to heaven
I don`t care
If I stay in hell
`cos I know that I`m doing
What I really wanna do
And you know that I`m doing it well

Yes I know I didn`t love my mamma
I got everything wrong at school
All the touble I had from my dear old dad
Tonight you sit tight I`m gonna give it to you

I don`t care
If you go to work
I don`t care
If you stay at home
But if you go downtown
That you`re pulling around
Why don`t you leave me alone

I don`t care
I got too short arms
I don`t care
I don`t care
I got too long hands
I don`t care
I don`t care
I got too bald head
I don`t care
