Bastard Landlord - The Pogues[00:00:00]

Oh Lord won't you tell me I'm sure I don't know [00:00:08]

Who makes the plans that change our lives so [00:00:11]

From a place in the country so peaceful and calm [00:00:15]

We moved up to London as the bombs fell around [00:00:18]

To a house by the river where the rent it was cheap [00:00:22]

The Landlord he told us Its yours to keep' [00:00:25]

For regular payment week after week [00:00:28]

You'll always have a roof under which you can sleep [00:00:32]

The years past by the war came to an end [00:00:36]

We lived out our lives did nothing to offend [00:00:39]

But the Landlord's conditions yearly they grew [00:00:43]

With the size of his gut and his housing values [00:00:47]

He'd kneel on a Sunday and pray to the Lord [00:00:50]

For the deals of love his world cannot afford [00:00:53]

When the Bastard he came round to put up our rent [00:00:57]

We swallowed our pride and we smiled our best [00:01:00]

Bricks and mortar Kingdom of Stone [00:01:04]

Where do you go when you're all alone [00:01:08]

They'll carve your name where you lie [00:01:11]

And I for one no tears will cry [00:01:14]

Greed knows no boundaries greed doesn't feel [00:01:25]

I'm damned if I'll die for a profiting deal [00:01:28]

The woman next door she just passed away [00:01:32]

'Cause the rent got so high that she just couldn't pay [00:01:35]

And there in the bed she closed up her eyes [00:01:39]

The last time she gazed on this world of lies [00:01:42]

With nowhere to go and nothing to say [00:01:46]

She went to the next world and the Bastard he smiled [00:01:49]

Bricks and mortar Kingdom of Stone [00:01:53]

Where do you go when you're all alone [00:01:56]

They'll carve your name where you lie [00:02:00]

And I for one no tears will cry [00:02:03]

Oh Lord won't you tell me I'm sure I don't know [00:02:14]

What makes some people so callous and cold [00:02:17]

I've lived in this house for forty four years [00:02:21]

My children were born here it's here I'll grow old [00:02:24]

A curse on you Bastard Landlord be damned [00:02:28]

Who needs one more house like a[00:02:31]

Beach needs more sand [00:02:33]

I'll stay here till I'm done only nobody knows [00:02:35]

How God can let one man treat others so[00:02:38]
