lyrics

SID’S SINS
words: Helen Halloran, music: Helen Halloran & Scott Burroughs

I wake up and I feel like hell
Got nothing to do all day
Maybe I’ll go into town
Get hit by a bus on the way
They’ll see it in tomorrow’s paper
They’ll all say “that’s too bad”
They’ll talk about it for a little while
But none of them will be too sad

I died for Sid’s sins
I died for Sid’s sins
I died for Sid’s sins

Get out of bed and I look in the mirror, I got a headache from last night
I don’t remember what quite happened, judging by my bruises I lost a fight
Maybe I’ll just turn on the t.v., the rest of my life I’ll sit & stare
I don’t think anybody would miss me, they’d be glad I was out of their hair
I died for Sid’s sins, I died for Sid’s sins, I died for Sid’s sins

Look on my floor for a clean t-shirt, I can’t find my underwear
Look in my bed & there’s someone strange in it, dead or alive, I don’t care
Maybe I’ll go get my dad’s gun & kill this person before I die
He looks like shit & I wish he’d quit snoring, maybe I’ll just lay down & cry
I died for Sid’s sins, I died for Sid’s sins, I died for Sid’s sins
