The Company - Fish

Where beggars take cheques and children steal credit cards

From the pockets of wrecks that lie the road

I came to in my future and that was just yesterday

Unsure of my past that’s a knot in my gut

You buy me a drink then you think that you’ve got the right

To crawl in my head and rifle my soul

You tell me I’m free then you want me to compromise

To sell out my dreams you say you’ll make it worthwhile

Oh, boys would you drink to me now

Here on the hill, half way up, half way down

Oh, boys would you drink to me now

Here on the hill, half way up, half way down

You tell me I’m drunk then you stand back and smug a while

Convinced that you’re right that you’re still in command of your senses

I laugh at your superior attitude

Your insincere plattitudes make me throw up

The sooner you realise I’m perfectly happy

If I’m left to decide the company I choose

Oh, boys would you drink to me now

Here on the hill, half way up, half way down

Oh for the company born to the company

Live for the company until I die

The sooner you realise I’m perfectly happy

If I’m left to decide the company I choose

The company I choose is solidly singular

Totally trustworthy, straight and sincere

Polished, experienced, witty and charming

So why don’t you push off, this company’s my own

Oh, boys will you drink to me now

Here on the hill, half way up, half way down

Oh, boys will you drink to me now

Here on the hill, half way up, half way down

Oh for the company, dream of the company

Live for the company until I die

Oh for the company, dream of the company

Drink to the company until we die

Until we die

Until we die
