Beer And The Bible Lyrics by Bagatelle

Bagatelle Greatest Hits

2006

[Verse 1]
On the day he arrived with a light in his eyes
He'd says all his farewells and all his goodbyes
And he knew he'd find work, he was good with his hands
And the money was good too in this foreign land
On the first night he met with a few big hard men
Put his hand in his pocket again and again
I'll replace it tomorrow, and all will be right
And he put down the hard stuff, went out to the night
[Chorus]
And he's walking all day, just looking for leads
As the light in the tunnel, it slowly recedes
And he's back to the pub, only all roads reveals
Back to the beer and the Bible
[Verse 2]
In the cold light of day, in the concreate and steel
His sense of security started to reel
And realisation it was worse than he thought
Pours over his head like old tea from a pot
And he knows them by heart, the signs and the jeers
"No men wanted; Bugger off; No vacancies here"
Because there's plenty of work if you're first in the line
And there isn't a thousand before you
[Chorus]
And he's walking all day, just looking for leads
As the light in the tunnel, it slowly recedes
And he's back to the pub, only all roads reveals
Back to the beer and the Bible
[Verse 3]
So he lowers his sights, "I'd do anything at all!
To hell with the trail and the straight narrow walls
Sure a hunt wouldn't hurt, for a month, maybe more
Will you give me a job, you lousy old hoor!"
[Chorus]
And he's walking all day, just looking for leads
As the light in the tunnel, it slowly recedes
And he's back to the pub, only all roads reveals
Back to the beer and the Bible
[Verse 4]
Its a long time since he heard the waves on the shore
Near the place that he came from a long time before
So he drinks, and he prays, and can't understand
Why they don't need his skills here in this foreign land
[Chorus]
So he's walking all day, just looking for leads
As the light in the tunnel, it slowly recedes
And he's back to the pub, only all roads reveals
Back to the beer and the Bible
Yes, he's walking all day, just looking for leads
As the light in the tunnel, it slowly recedes
And he's back to the pub, only all roads reveals
Back to the beer and the Bible
[Outro]
Back to the beer and the Bible...
He's gone back to the beer and the Bible...
