Shouting in a Bucket Blues
Kevin Ayers
Sometimes I get too drunk
And feel so goddamned low
I have no place to go
No one to turn to
I think about your loving arms
Where I'd like to be
But it's selfish as can be
And I know it
And if I'm sorry for myself
I'm sorry for you too
'Cause I'm the same as you
And I'm burning
So I sing for everyone
Who feels there's no way out
Or maybe if you all shout
Someone will hear you
Oh listen to them shout
I won't say that I love you
'Cause that would be a lie
I can only say I try
And you know it
Love is something more and less
Than words can hope to say
It's something day to day
In the life we're living
Lovers come and lovers go
But friends are hard to find
Yes I can count all mine
On one finger
So I sing for everyone
Who feels there's no way out
Or maybe if you all shout
Someone will hear you
Oh listen to them shout
The distance that's between us
It just never seems to change
There's a whole mountain range
Of misunderstanding
So I sing for everyone
Who feels there's no way out
Or maybe if you all shout
Someone will hear you
Oh listen to them shout
