I try and feel the sunshine You bring the rain You try and hold me down With your complaints You cry and moan and complain You whine and tear Up to my neck in sorrow The touch you bring You just don't step inside to, to fourteen years So hard to keep my own head, that's what I say, you know I've been the beggar I've played the thief I was the dog, they all tried to beat But it's been Fourteen years of silence It's been Fourteen years of pain It's been Fourteen years that are gone forever And I'll never have again, well Your stupid girlfriends tell you That I'm to blame Well, they're all used-up has-beens Out of the game This time I'll have the last word You hear what I say I tried to see it your way It won't work today You don't just step inside to, to fourteen years So hard to keep my own head, that's what I say You know, I've been the dealer hangin' on your street I was the dog, they all tried to beat But it's been Fourteen years of silence It's been Fourteen years of pain It's been Fourteen years that are gone forever And I'll never have again, well Yeah it's been, oh no! Bullshit and contemplation Gossip's their trade If they knew half the real truth What would they say? Well I'm past the point of concern It's time to play These last four years of madness Sure put me straight You don't get back fourteen years In just one day So hard to keep my own head Just go away You know, just like a hooker she said Nothin' is free Oh I tried to see it your way I tried to see it your way
