Miles of Bones - Parkhill Party Song [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I'm going away, I'm going away to a party in Parkhill
I promise not to start a rumble but I know I probably will
So hang me, flog me, lock me up in payment for my sins
I should know when the devil knocks you don't let the bastard in

[Chorus 1]
And I said now what? I don't care if I die today
I drank my share of sweet scotch whiskey, drained the bottle dry
And I said so what? I don't have a thing to prove
A thing to lose, one excuse, or a teardrop in my eye

[Verse 2]
Well, I've been down in London Town but I feel I have to roam
I'm so many miles from Old Free Greenock, so far from my home
I've not been bitter or disloyal, told no ugly lie
I try to keep my head up, smiling, joyful, and my praises high
And I've been down on bended knee praying to the Lord have mercy
God if you keep me lonely, keep me also free
And I will keep this heart from sin, from trouble I will stay
So when I feel that spirit moving I can be on my way

[Chorus 2]
And I said now what? I don't care if I die tomorrow
I'll float my heart and drown my sorrows, drain the bottle dry
And I said so what? I don't have a thing to prove
A thing to lose, one excuse, or a teardrop in my eye

[Verse 3]
It's a troubled life we live, but take heart and have no fear
Through peril on both sides you see, a way has been made clear
And I don't care for worries of the world, that's not my way
This could all be gone tomorrow, I'm glad we've got today
And it's a lovely night, my dear, and the moon is on the rise
And I can't tell if it's misty tears or starlight in your eyes
This could be a little much, but there's more for you to see
And I think you should fly that Dutchman and come along with me

[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
