Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Landlord's coughing blood
Well, Wildtyke, when I play the song you posted, RealOne Player displays "So Long Down the Line - IBIZA". Is that just an arbitrary title you gave it when you created the MP3 file? What does Ibiza have to do with it?
Anyway, here's my best crack at transcribing the lyrics. Several phrases don't make sense, and are highly doubtful.
Landlord's coughing blood. You know, he's almost sick as me. That don't never pay my rent or keep me company. Company I keep is just like waiting for a train. Landed right on time and you stand out in the rain.
So long down the line. So long down the line.
Staked to mum and dad you know a decent boy like me. Feed myself most every day on yams, chips, beans. Leather doctor keeps me warm. Winter makes its scene. Wall is going to save my soul, stop this lack of green.
And it's so long down the line. So long down the line.
Barely, barely, barely just stayin' alive. Barely, barely, barely just stayin' alive.
So long down the line. So long down the line. So long down the line.
