about

I spent two years on the dole, living out on the eastern edge of the city and far away from all my friends.

It sucked.

lyrics

I've given all I've got
And I can't keep on giving
I'm left to count the cost
Of all this time stuck living
Out here on the side
Where the city and the scenery collide

And nothing works round here
You'll miss your chance if you just blink
I can't sleep for fear
And I try not to think
Of all the souls I'd disappoint
In a life without a purpose or a point

I've tried to keep my spirits high with whiskey and with weed
I've tried to keep it dignified in every case I've had to plead
But all this enervation takes its toll in ways that are only multiplied
By being left out on the side

I've tried to keep my spirits high with whiskey and with weed
I've tried to keep it dignified in every case I've had to plead
But all this enervation takes its toll in ways that are only multiplied
By being left out on the side

Being left out on the side

Being left out on the side.
