Oysterband - Pigsty Billy lyrics

Walking through the world of Pigsty Billy You can feel the sun go down Holes in your soles and nothing in your pockets Grinning at the edge of town Sow the yard with broken bottles Find a message now and then Lose the key in a patch of nettles Never find that door again Don't you whistle when the wind is rising Don't tell a chicken who's got the knife Don't you ask for drink on credit Don't look twice at any man's wife The Stars are hard, it's a long December Bait your line on a frozen pool All the things you can't remember Spring will thaw them out, the fool Buried round behind the chapel All tied up with a piece of string A photograph of Greta Garbo Rabbit's foot and a curtain ring
