Ordinary Weekend - John Wesley Harding[00:00:00]
I lost my job on Friday I went drinking to forget[00:00:08]
My luck it had been down so long but[00:00:12]
I could change it yet[00:00:14]
Sat down and strted talking with some guy[00:00:16]
Sitting there[00:00:19]
He bought me drinks all afternoon until[00:00:20]
I didn't care[00:00:22]
He said was I in need of work some[00:00:24]
Money could be found[00:00:26]
I said is it above the law he said it's[00:00:28]
Underground[00:00:31]
I said I need the paycheck now I got[00:00:32]
Debts here and there[00:00:34]
He smiled and asked if I could drive[00:00:36]
And I said anywhere[00:00:38]
Anywhere[00:00:39]
In this weekend of ordinary dreams[00:00:40]
Everything was not just as it seems[00:00:44]
Take a look around at the faces in the crowd[00:00:48]
And you'll see where I've been[00:00:51]
We met up on the saturday I thought it was us two[00:00:55]
But I had not asked quetions not knowing what to do[00:01:00]
Twelve of them were in the van[00:01:03]
Thirteen including me[00:01:05]
Twelve pairs of eyes were staring[00:01:07]
Back at me suspiciously[00:01:09]
And so I just sat down and drove[00:01:11]
Took them to some track[00:01:13]
And drove past the security guard[00:01:15]
While they hid in the back[00:01:17]
They made me stop and got out there and[00:01:19]
I heard a couple of shots[00:01:21]
I hoped they were in self defense[00:01:23]
But I knew that they were not[00:01:25]
They were not[00:01:27]
Not in this weekend of ordinary dreams[00:01:28]
Everything was not just as it seems[00:01:32]
Take a look around at the faces in the crowd[00:01:35]
You'll see where I've been oyy[00:01:39]
I drummed my fingers on the wheel and[00:01:51]
Waited for the boys[00:01:53]
Had a smoke I had a few I got very paranoid[00:01:55]
And still they hadn't come back there so[00:01:58]
I just drove away[00:02:00]
Deciding to play safe and get my share another day[00:02:02]
On sunday he came round my place I[00:02:06]
Asked him where theyd been[00:02:08]
He said theyd left another way and only I was seen[00:02:10]
He said that we should cash the van and[00:02:14]
Did I want my share[00:02:16]
I didn't like the way theyd left[00:02:18]
By now I didn't care[00:02:20]
Didn't care[00:02:22]
For this weekend of ordinary dreams[00:02:23]
Everything is not as it seems[00:02:27]
Take a look around at the faces in the crowd[00:02:30]
Could I guess[00:02:33]
I was just drinking just drinking[00:02:34]
Drove me to a back room with a[00:02:53]
Single swinging light[00:02:55]
Someone said the fish are starving[00:02:56]
Ain't it time they had a bite[00:02:59]
And I felt sick and stupid and[00:03:00]
Damned my own brown hair[00:03:03]
Forgetting that the price you pay[00:03:05]
Must far exceed the share[00:03:07]
Someone pulled a knife[00:03:09]
Stabbed me in the back[00:03:10]
They tied my hands and bound my[00:03:13]
Feet and threw me in a sack[00:03:14]
They took me to a lakeside with[00:03:16]
They threw my body in[00:03:18]
I could hear them laughing they[00:03:20]
Said you can sink or swim[00:03:22]
Sink or swim[00:03:23]
Sink or swim swim[00:03:27]
Sink or swim[00:03:31]
Sink[00:03:35]
So hear you desperate women and[00:03:54]
Hear you desperate men[00:03:56]
Don't take your life for granted please[00:03:58]
Don't live your life in vain[00:04:00]
But if you think that you can cahnge it[00:04:02]
Hope you know you ant go back[00:04:04]
Just go down to the lake[00:04:06]
Watch me floating in a sack[00:04:07]
In this sack[00:04:09]
Watch me floating in a sack sack[00:04:12]
Watch me floating in a sack sack[00:04:16]
Watch me floating in a sack[00:04:19]
