Free Spirit - The Vibrators

You can tell how I’m getting on

My girl she ran off with a lesbian

Tax man is investigating me

And I lost my house and the family

How many times do I have to tell you?

Yeah, I’m doing real-real fine

And that wasn’t me down at the soup kitchen

Standing in line

Yeah, I’m a man robbed of his dignity

I’m a man robbed of his soul

Yeah, I guess my old daddy was right

I shoulda — stayed away from that rock ‘n' roll

Well, my clothes, they may seem a little dirty

And my shoes seen too many years

My Armani suit’s down at the cleaners

And yes, I’ll take another beer

I used to be a free spirit

The whole world out there was mine

But that’s been and gone

It’s been gone a long long time

Yeah, I’m a man robbed of his dignity

I’m a man robbed of his soul

Yeah, I guess my old daddy was right

I shoulda — stayed away from that rock ‘n' roll

You can tell how I’m getting on

My girl she ran off with a lesbian

Tax man is investigating me

I used to be a free spirit

The whole world out there was mine

But that’s been and gone

It’s been gone a long long time

I’m a man robbed of his soul

Yeah, I guess my old daddy was right
