Billy Budd

[Verse 1]

Say, Billy Budd, so you think you should?

Oh, everyone's laughing

Say, Billy Budd, so you think that you should?

Everyone's laughing

[Verse 2]

Since I took up with you

Things have been bad

Yeah, but now it's twelve years on

Now it's twelve years on

Yes, and I took up with you

[Verse 3]

I took my job application into town

Did you hear they turned me down?

Yes, and it's all because of us

Oh, and what was in our eyes

Oh, what was in our eyes, yeah

[Verse 4]

I said, Billy Budd, I would happily lose both of my legs

I would lose both of my legs

Oh, if it meant you could be free

Oh, if it meant you could be free

[Outro]

(Don't leave us in the dark!)
