Lyrics:You seem the type to follow the line 
Went from cheery vagabondage to cold bolooded luxury in four years 
No lick spittle or pickthack from sycophant claw back flunky 
Oh,i want to lay by your side 
Oh,i will lay down and die if I can?t lay by your side 

Weaker vessel or better half? 
That Woman?s tears could be the death of me...oh dear 
You know when she?s had a few she?ll be onto you there?s no letting up 
But,i want to lay by your side 
Oh,I will lay down and die if i can?t lay by your side 

It may hap that these these are they - the golden years 
So don?t despair don?t dismay dry your tears 
Everything is for the best in the best of all possible worlds 

I had a blast off with the vast of a play on the radio 
They were more liberal times 
Destined to drone in monotone on your radio 
It?s a little dream of mine 

Oh but comments were less than complimentary 
And the deft left hand it followed the right 

I think about my happiest times and one of them 
was sat in bed watching a documentary on murderers 
A bearcat, a memose and a view of arcady 

Oh, i want to lay by your side 
Oh,i will lay down and die if I can?t lay by your side 

Oh,I want to lay by your side 
Oh,I?ll surely lay down and die 
I can?t lay by your side 

Oh,I want to lay by your side 
Oh,I?ll surely lay down and die by your side 

Oh,I want to lay by your side
