(Shane MacGowan / Jem Finer)
Seen the carnival at Rome
Had the women I had the booze

All I can remember now
Is little kids without no shoes
So I saw that train

And I got on it
With a heartful of hate
And a lust for vomit

Now I'm walking on the sunnyside of the street

Stepped over bodies in Bombay

Tried to make it to the U.S.A.
Ended up in Nepal
Up on the roof with nothing at all

And I knew that day
I was going to stay
Right where I am, on the sunnyside of the street


Been in a palace, been in a jail
I just don't want to be reborn a snail

Just want to spend eternity
Right where I am, on the sunnyside of the street


As my mother wept it was then I swore
To take my life as I would a !@^%
I know I'm better than before

I will not be reconstructed
Just wanna stay right here
On the sunnyside of the street
