DOWN BY THE JETTY BLUES
(Birch/Brilleaux/Walwyn/Morris) ゥ In The Frame Music

I知 going down by the jetty, tonight the tide is high, there痴 tankers in the channel and flames up in the sky.  I知 going down by the jetty, before I leave this world behind, cos that oil slick on the water, is bound to ease my worried mind.

My face is slowly burning, my eyes are turning red, in the shadow of the refinery baby, tonight I値l make my bed.  I知 going down by the jetty, before I leave this world behind, you know that oil slick on the water, is bound to ease my worried mind.

The air is filled with poison, the sea is thick with grease, somewhere in this hell on earth I will surely get some peace.  With one foot on the water, and one foot on the pier, I知 ready for the next world, so get me out of here.  I知 going down by the jetty, before I leave this world behind, cos that oil slick on the water, is bound to ease my worried mind.

Bye bye cruel world...
