Press Gang Paroles

HE WAS A GOOD MAN, HE WAS A YOUNG MAN
HE WAS LIKE YOU, HE WAS LIKE ME
IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME, IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME
TWISTING IN THE BREEZE [CUT HIM DOWN, CUT HIM DOWN]
LEFT FOR THE CHILDREN ON THE STREETS[CUT HIM DOWN, CUT HIM DOWN]
HE SHOULD HAVE KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT.
HE NEVER SHOULD HAVE LEFT THAT SHIP
DON'T GO DRINKING DOWN BY THE DOCKS
YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU'LL WAKE UP
I KNEW HIM WHEN HE WAS BREATHING
HE WAS A GOOD MAN, HE WAS A YOUNG MAN
HE WAS LIKE YOU. HE WAS LIKE ME
IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME
IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME
TWISTING IN THE BREEZE[CUT HIM DOWN, CUT HIM DOWN]
LEFT FOR THE CHILDREN ON THE STREETS[CUT HIM DOWN, CUT HIM DOWN]
WOKE UP ON THE WATER,
NO ONE EVER ASKED HIM IF HE WANTED, TO GO
HE NEVER HAD ANY OPTIONS
HE WAS SMART ANY ISLAND WOULDN'T DO
I KNEW HIM WHEN HE WAS BREATHING
HE WAS A GOOD MAN, HE WAS A YOUNG MAN
HE WAS LIKE YOU. HE WAS LIKE ME
IT COULD HAVE BEEN YOU. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME
BUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE PRESS GANG[CUT HIM DOWN, CUT HIM DOWN]
BUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE PRESS GANG[CUT HIM DOWN, CUT HIM DOWN]
CUT HIM DOWN CUT HIM DOWN
