The Occasional Flicker Lyrics - Don't Stand Me Down - Dexys Midnight Runners

No, I don't want sympathy, 

I just want somewhere for these sins to go 

Compromise is the devil talking and he spoke to me 

He mentioned something of moving in, 

I conversed once with him and yes 

He related to me how necessity is evil's mother 

He has no father, 

only victims weak or strong. 

I hope this won't take long 

I was right the first time, 

I'll put it right with thirst now 

Well, you might say I'm trying to redeem myself and in a way 

I think that's true, but I'm just trying to bite off more than those 

That chew more than I do

You could say that I'm a bitter man 

and once again, I think that's true, 

I witl remain so until I better those 

that know more than I do 

It kind of reminds me of that burning feeling 

I used to get 

What? 

You know, that little problem I used to get What 

Are you still getting trouble with this? 

Yeah, not all the time or anything 

Like it was? 

Yeah, sometimes 

Are you sure it's not heartburn? 

No, it's definitely not heartburn 

It's just a little matter of a burning, 

a little matter of a burning nature 

It's not arson, it's not arson 

It's OK it's my problem I'll deal with it myself
