Just B.Right.On Lyrics

i've written ten verse in as many years
overcome no suburban fears
played them for none of my dears
drinking since i came here

and the friends that i befriended
nothing for would have me lended
till my incentives bended
drinking since i came here

back home i felt co certain strong
fame overnight is one night too long
i can't seem to just be right on
drinking since i came here

(traditional) wey hey up she rises
patent blocks of different sizes
wey hey up she rises
early in the morning

and no words of joy are spoken
sacred texts that i bought hoping
all of which i've yet to open
drinking since i came here

and the boys that i attracted
easily get me distracted
only to have love retracted
drinking since i came here

so i know the oracles men
better than answers to their questions
i have got nothing to show them
drinking since i came here

(traditional) wey hey up she rises
patent blocks of different sizes
wey hey up she rises
early in the morning

that's what to do with a drunken sailor
in this city
that's what to do with a drunken sailor
like me
