Countryside Boogie (demo) Lyrics by John Entwistle

Whistle Rymes

0

You can take my money
You can take everything
But you can't take my love
There ain't no law says
You can't love the country you live in
If you have to pay
To be allowed to stay
Then you can take all I got
But don't expect me to smile in the joy of givin'
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
This is my home, it's where I stay
No shiny-arsed, leather-elbowed revenue man's
Gonna shoot me down
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
This is my home, it's where I stay
No pinstriped, double-chinned, red-flag-wavin' ape is
Makin' me leave town
Everybody doin'
The countryside boogie
Countryside boogie
Suicidal rock and roll
Everybody's doin'
The countryside boogie
Countryside boogie
Suicidal rock and roll
Don't condemn the ones who've already gone
'Cause rats'll leave a sinking ship
'Cause if the ship is really goin' down
You cats had better take the tip
Our captain is a lunatic
A conjuror without a trick
He says there's something up his sleeve
His audience begin to leave
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
This is my home, it's where I stay
No flashy-tie, long-faced deadbeat and his man's
Gonna bring me down
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
This is my home, it's where I stay
No rob-the-rich, feed-the-poor, crocked out Robin Hood's
Gonna shake me down
Everybody's doin'
The countryside boogie
Countryside boogie
Suicidal rock and roll
Everybody's doin'
The countryside boogie
Countryside boogie
Suicidal rock and roll
