There's No Night Out in the Jail - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Chorus:

Well you dream of blondes and you dream of beer

And life gets terribly stale

It’s dead in the morgue but it’s deader in here

There’s no night out in the jail

The fellas I knew must all miss me now

I guess I better come clean

I’m sweating it out in the boot me boys

An un-paying guest of the queen

Well this prison life sure suits me fine

I lead a decent life

At last my days are organized

Outside it’s nothing but strife

Chorus

Me cobbers inside are just normal blokes

Who lead rather colorful lives

Like breaking and entering and stealing cars

And just not supporting their wives

Well some blokes just like collecting things

And some like guzzling beer

Well some blokes just can’t resist a fight

And some keep getting ideas

Chorus

I’m working the farm it’s a healthy life

I jump outta bed with a spring

The tukka’s not bad I get lots of sleep

So who’d wanna change with the king?

No unemployment scares me now

And even when I am tired

I know I’m on a cushy job

For sure I can never be fired

Chorus

Me creditors just don’t annoy me now

Me wife has to get off my back

Me mother-in-law had to drown herself

Who said the outlook is black?

Nothing now can worry me Behind these prison walls

Just like a bull of pedigree

I’m locked up at night in the stalls

Chorus
