Tether's End
I went down to the crossroads as the clock struck one, To Tether's End I'm bound, Flat broken-hearted, bruised and burned, Cash-strapped and dunce-capped from lessons never learned, Up another junction, not knowing where to turn.
Come along with me my friend, I'm travelling to Tether's End, I'm getting closer every day.
I went down to the crossroads as the clock struck two, To Tether's End I'm bound, That North Country never-never land had never passed the post, Guardian angels, patron saints had given up the ghost, Battalions of rapscallions had left us all for toast.
I went down to the crossroads as the clock struck eight, nine and ten, To Tether's End I'm bound, Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I'd work my broken fingers black if only I could, But there's only open spaces where working places stood, And the dreaded over-fed have displaced the great and good.
This way, that way, which way do you go? Wise old wives say, the devil only knows.
So I went down to the crossroads as midnight tolled, To Tether's End I'm bound, There stood a posh politician with a heart as black as coal, A long silver tongue wrapped around a pot of gold, He said 'I don't want your votes son, I'm coming for your soul!'
