The Occasional Flicker — текст песни (Dexy`s Midnight Runners)

No, I don`t want sympathy,
I just want somewhere for these sins to go
Compromise is the devil talking and he spoke to me

He mentioned something of moving in,
I conversed once with him and yes
He related to me how necessity is evil`s mother
He has no father,
only victims weak or strong.
I hope this won`t take long

I was right the first time,
I`ll put it right with thirst now

Well, you might say I`m trying to redeem myself and in a way
I think that`s true, but I`m just trying to bite off more than those
That chew more than I do

You could say that I`m a bitter man
and once again, I think that`s true,
I witl remain so until I better those
that know more than I do
It kind of reminds me of that burning feeling
I used to get
What?
You know, that little problem I used to get What
Are you still getting trouble with this?
Yeah, not all the time or anything
Like it was?
Yeah, sometimes
Are you sure it`s not heartburn?
No, it`s definitely not heartburn
It`s just a little matter of a burning,
a little matter of a burning nature
It`s not arson, it`s not arson
It`s OK it`s my problem I`ll deal with it myself
