Dirty water Lyrics


I don't know where I'm coming from
Only know where I belong
There's dirty water in my bones
She, I know she will follow me
But she ain't got no sympa
She ain't got no sympathy
And I got soul but no money
She ain't got no sympathy
And I got soul but no money
Alright, okay, yeah
Alright, okay, yeah
Alright, okay, yeah
At the age of eighteen
Came on the scene clean
Now I know what pains means
Spent time in the darkest places
Beautiful faces in the dark oasis
Trying to take this to the full extent

Am I real heaven sent?
Clark Kent's my alter ego
Took that girl down to Puerto Rico
Now I find out that we're not amigos
Treated her foul never as an equal
Now I'm all sad just because my ego
Had a golden key, couldn't find a key hole
Yo, stop let the beat rock
Conscious hip hop is gettin' dropped
Wake up saw B and the little one
Little son had b-phids done
Easy come, easy go
Everyone thinks they know
'Bout the thing, high unknown
Put their thoughts on a throne
Then they name it G O D
Colonize, you and me
But I'm free in the sky
Me, myself, and I, word
I don't know where I'm coming from
Only know where I belong
There's dirty water in my bones
She, I know that she will follow me
But she ain't got no sympa
She ain't got no sympathy
And I got soul but no money
She ain't got no sympathy
And I got soul but no money
Alright, okay, yeah
Alright, okay, yeah
Alright, okay, yeah
I was walkin' down the mountainside
No matter what I did I couldn't hide
From all the things inside of me
Seems that I was living fantasy
Singing, oh, how time flies
With crystal clear eyes
This life I know is gone
Oh, how time flies
With crystal clear eyes
This girl I like is gone
And now I leave home
She ain't got no sympathy
And I got soul but no money
She ain't got no sympathy
And I got soul but no money

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Formed in 1977 from an amalgamation of "Ronnie and the Biggs" vocalist, the superb Bill Hurley, and "The Cannibles" Tony Oliver, Ben Donnelly and Peter Gunn, this hard-hitting R&B combo are often likened to their compadres "Dr. Feelgood" and "Eddie and The Hot Rods".
Signed to Radar Records they quickly made an impact with their debut LP. "First Offence" containing the hit singles "Dirty water" (U.S. top forty) and Jimmy McCracklin's "The walk" (UK. top forty).
