Bäng
Richard Grey feat. Robin S Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I put my life before you
My service is at your command
I've kicked the mud off and on again
Oh, but I've finally made my stand
Gone for good the open vein
I'm going to get my works
Weeks have passed without a single grain

I've taken a turn
I've lost what I once was craving
The oil will not burn, but I don't mind
One joy bang
One joy bang

I've met the people once enough
Picked a lush my last time down
Dropped the poke in the alleyway
Oh honey, I know that what goes 'round comes 'round
Tired of all this endless heat
Tired of most everything
You know I thought I'd never ditch these freaks

I've taken a turn
I've lost what I once was craving
The oil will not burn, but I don't mind
One joy bang

I've taken a turn
I've lost what I once was craving
The oil will not burn, but I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind
One joy

I don't mind
Just one
