The Company

Fish

Where beggars take cheques and children steal credit cards


From the pockets of wrecks that lie in the road


I came to in my future that was just yesterday


Unsure of my past, that's a knot in my gut





You buy me a drink then you think that you've got the right


To crawl in my head and rifle my soul


You tell me I'm free then you want me to compromise


To sell out my dreams you say you'll make it worthwhile





Oh, boys would you drink to me now


Here on the hill, halfway up, halfway down





You tell me I'm drunk then you sit back and smug a while


Convinced that you're right that you're still in command


Of your senses. I laugh at your superior attitude


Your insincere platitudes they make me throw up





The sooner you realise I'm perfectly happy


If I'm left to decide the company I choose





Oh, boys would you drink to me now


Here on the hill, halfway up, halfway down


Oh, boys would you drink to me now


Here on the hill, halfway up, halfway down


Oh for the company born to the company


Live for the company until I die





The sooner you realise I'm perfectly happy


If I'm left to decide the company I choose





The company I choose is solidly singular


Totally trustworthy, straight and sincere


Polished, experienced, witty and charming


So why don't you push off, this company's my own





Oh, boys would you drink to me now


Here on the hill, halfway up, halfway down


Oh, boys would you drink to me now


Here on the hill, halfway up, halfway down


Oh for the company, dream of the company


Live for the company until I die


Oh for the company, dream of the company


Drink to the company until we die


Until we die


Until we die
