Lyrics
It’s always raining in St Petersburg
This damp will be the death of me
I left my raincoat with my Romany
Gypsy cards say that
There isn’t any justice in this world
As far as I have seen
No more or less than we deserve
Hell, I’ve no desire to be free
We’re always steaming in the singles bars
Bells are ringing ain’t it great to be alive?
And watch me turning prematurely grey
Oh, the money’s killing me
But there’s a reason for this drinking
You see the poison tastes so sweet
And it beats the hell out of thinking
All good christians agree
I’ve been walking circles
Foot nailed to the floor
Everyone’s complaining
I just lock my doors
I do believe I’ve seen it all
It’s always raining when you’re drying out
This damp will be the death of me
And everybody loves you when you’re down and out
Oh, the money’s killing me
There isn’t any justice in this world
That’s more or less than we deserve
I’ve no desire to be free
I’ll be whistling Dixie
Rocks tied to my feet
Everyone’s compaining
Noone’s losing sleep
This town will be the death of me
Pretty boys and pretty girls
Everyone a saint
Everyone’s complaining
Noone’s losing sleep
This town will be the death of me
