Şarkı sözleri
[Verse 1]
Well a good friend of mine was a joiner
And he built me the sturdiest chair
And he sold me a rope
The weight, it would cope
Between me and a good foot of air
[Verse 2]
But apparently the country we live in
Is comfortable selling you junk
The rope, it went slack
The chair, it collapsed
And gradually my poor heart, it sunk
[Chorus]
I couldn’t get dead in an earthquake
I couldn’t get dead in a storm
Avalanche or flood in my neighbourhood
I’d surface both happy and warm
I couldn’t get dead in tornado
I couldn’t get dead in a ditch
Life trundles on and chances be gone
And you realise death’s just a bitch
[Verse 3]
Well I filled up the bath with hot water
And plugged myself into the grid
In a cupboard yet higher
Reached for bar-fire
Where neighbours and friends had it hid
[Verse 4]
Bar-fire dropped into water
A deadly mixture that’s true
But just like my luck
Miner’s Strike struck
And power cut followed that too
[Chorus]
I couldn't get dead in an earthquake
I couldn't get dead in a storm
Avalanche or flood in my neighbourhood
I'd surface both happy and warm
I couldn't get dead in tornado
I couldn't get dead in a ditch
Life trundles on and chances be gone
And you realise death's just a bitch
[Bridge]
Well, it's Mental Health Week on the radio
Mental Health Month on TV
The camp and the butch are talking so much
That nobody’s noticing me
The truth is I lost me dear partner
And solemnly made me this pledge
To climb me the tallest skyscraper
And find me the tiniest ledge
[Chorus]
I couldn't get dead in an earthquake
I couldn't get dead in a storm
Avalanche or flood in my neighbourhood
I'd surface both happy and warm
I couldn't get dead in tornado
I couldn't get dead in a ditch
Life trundles on and chances be gone
And you realise death's just a bitch
