 1
I  was a happy  boy living on the dole
When  you came and ruined  it all on me
I'd  sit for hours  all day in my good friend's home
Smoking  cigarettes  and drinking tea
We  were so happy  there, talk our lives away
Talking  'bout our hopes  and all our dreams
Till  you came round  one day with your great big plan
And  you tried to ruin  me with your schemes
 And your Mammy  and your Daddy  well they call  you Mary
 But they shoulda  called you Deathwatch
Shoulda  called you Deathwatch
Cause  you nearly were  the death of  me
 2
Lads  told me you were  no good I turned them away
Said  that you just wanted  things from me
Then  you made me get  a job and I understood
I  was in too deep  I'd not be free
And  then I gave  up drink cos you asked me too
I  was shaving each  day before long
Then  you said we had  to save for a mortgage soon
That  was when the light  began to dawn
 3
Didn't  even say goodbye  just walked away
From  the burderns you  had put on me
Don't  know why I even  tried to be something I'm not
All  I know's I wanted  to be free
Now  I'm a happy  boy living on the dole
Smoking  cigarettes  and drinking tea
I'll  find some other  girl to have me as I am
You  can take your twisted  love to sea
