Love this song... My favorite off the album. Props to Zapp7 from GBS.com forums
for deciphering the song:
Great Big Sea - Road To Ruin
Intro -
Meet me in the morning I ll be Happy as a clown
You ll just be getting up And I ll still be getting down
The band is getting tired But they don t give a damn
So blow the girls a kiss And give the boys a hand
CHORUS:
You can take the Sunshine I can take the Moonshine
You can take the high road I can take the low
The later in the evening The one thing I believe in
I m on the Road to Ruin It s the only way to go
A penny in my pocket A bucket in the well
Then Saturday was Sunday And I could hear the bells
Deliver me from Evil Forgiveness and for love
You re heading for confession And I m heading to the pub
*CHORUS*
Nancy in the corner Now I m moving in
I thought I d take me chances But I took one on the chin
I finally got her number She wrote it on a cup
But I phoned her in the morning And I woke her mudder up
She wished that I would go to bed I only wished her well
And then she told me Jesus said that I d go straight to Hell
She s following His footsteps I m following my nose
We re heading for the same place I ll see you down the road
*Chorus* x2 (We re on the road to ruin..)
We re on the road to ruin its the only way to go!
