The Crock Of Gold - The Tossers[00:00:00]

We'll live out our lives on this dirty old street[00:01:02]

Only because we just can't compete[00:01:13]

But in the concrete in our younger days[00:01:23]

We left our names[00:01:27]

Our names[00:01:34]

Just like the people before when they reached[00:01:39]

The distant shore with their drink and their dance[00:01:48]

And their dreams and sincere aims[00:01:57]

All ghosts long gone through old buildings they stare[00:02:05]

With their offspring staring at me for they are still there[00:02:11]

Dreams that are dead and lives not realized[00:02:16]

But why did we write our names in these streets[00:02:25]

To show we're alive[00:02:30]

We're alive[00:02:37]

We're alive[00:02:42]

We're alive[00:02:48]

We're alive[00:02:52]

Well Chicago is my home and I'll never want to roam[00:03:00]

To live on any sun swept distant shore[00:03:04]

Well it is where I was reared by forbearers so revered[00:03:07]

And I sing the songs that they all sang before[00:03:11]

Well any woman that's neared me[00:03:14]

Has been repelled most thoroughly[00:03:16]

Still I'm a lover God[00:03:18]

I am foremost of all[00:03:20]

A musician that's my call of high degree professional[00:03:22]

But I'm afraid I do not know my trade at all[00:03:26]

And if it's every twenty years[00:03:29]

Some small relief to me appears[00:03:31]

Then the crock of gold will wait until that day[00:03:33]

To defend myself no more[00:03:37]

Lay the shield of anger at my door[00:03:39]

And the sword of alcohol will stow away[00:03:41]

All the young people in our town are overworked[00:03:44]

And broken down[00:03:47]

Begging cheques but it's just not enough they're giving[00:03:48]

Crying quietly living life so desperately[00:03:52]

That something has to make this life worth living[00:03:56]

Real life is only a timeline[00:03:59]

And the excitement holds the short times[00:04:01]

It will never measure up to what T V sells as great[00:04:03]

All the drunken jokes and views[00:04:06]

Exciting pubs they tell the news[00:04:08]

But the exciting pats well[00:04:10]

They just weren't all that great[00:04:12]

And if it's every twenty years[00:04:14]

Some small relief to me appears[00:04:16]

Then the crock of gold will wait until that day[00:04:18]

To defend myself no more[00:04:21]

Lay the shield of anger at my door[00:04:23]

And the sword of alcohol will stow away[00:04:25]

Go[00:04:29]

Well I met a girl one night[00:04:59]

And enchantment fixed our sight[00:05:00]

So we decided we would hold it for awhile[00:05:03]

Oh but she would not love me[00:05:06]

So inside me finally I said[00:05:08]

It's not your fault[00:05:10]

But I would like love if only for a while[00:05:11]

Well it's on and on I've seen[00:05:14]

Yeah that's how it's always been[00:05:15]

And how it will be as ever on I go[00:05:17]

Oh but ever on I will[00:05:21]

Through all the banal times until I find some[00:05:23]

Place to me that seems like home[00:05:26]

Oh and if it's every twenty years[00:05:28]

Some small relief to me appears[00:05:30]

Then the crock of gold will wait until that day[00:05:32]

To defend myself no more[00:05:36]

Lay the shield of anger at my door[00:05:38]

And the sword of alcohol will stow away[00:05:40]

Oh and if it's every twenty years[00:05:43]

Some small relief to me appears[00:05:45]

Then the crock of gold will wait until that day[00:05:47]

To defend myself no more[00:05:50]

Lay the shield of anger at my door[00:05:52]

And the sword of alcohol will stow away[00:05:54]
