 EmOf his Gyouth and repuDtationD  
Just Emrunning round town like an Gunemployed clown
DDrinking to forget that his Cchips are down
 EmNever reaGlising what he DhadD  
So I better Emput down the drink,
Take a Gminute to think
About the Creal world and what I should Ddo
Would I Emrun straight on
Or keep on Gdrinking alone
And just fCorget that I ever Dknew?
For, if I am to Cchange for Gyou
It's Dgonna be a bitter Empill to Dswallow
CFor Gyou, for Dyou
And if I am to Cchange my Gview
With a Ddifferent road and Emgoal to Dfollow.
