Sitting On Top Of The World Lyrics - Pogues

Well it's been a long day but I don't like to moan 

The middle of summer and I'm chilled to the bone 

Holes in my shoes where the rain comes in 

I'm sittin' on top of the world 

Walkin' in the shadows of empty office blocks 

I was talking to a stranger said, he's on the rocks 

Down on the pavement, living in a box 

I'm sittin' on top of the world 

Oh no, can't anybody see? 

It's been a bad day and I want a little peace 

Oh no, won't you please help me? 

I wanna lie down but there's no beds free 

Down on the corner there's starry eyed preachers 

Rattling cans and pimpin' Jesus 

There's madmen on boxes making speeches 

I'm sittin' on top of the world 

You can't sit in the sunshine or go out after dark 

Dogs on the loose, actin' like sharks 

Psychos on the streets burning winos in the park 

I'm sittin' on top of the world 

Oh no, I wish I was gone 

I wanna get goin' before too long 

Oh no, I wanna leave town 

But can't drive my car 'cause they put it in the pound 

The masters of industry are killing for oil 

There's poison in the air and the water and the soil 

We're all turnin' mutant, they're counting up their spoils 

I'm sittin' on top of the world 

I turn on the TV and it makes me wanna cry 

There's killing and there's torture, destruction and lies 

Leaders talk rubbish, more people die 

I'm sittin' on top of the world 

Oh no, I can't take any more 

I'm shakin' all over and my nerves are all raw 

Oh no, my head's a little sore 

I wanna get out but I can't find the door 

Oh no, I can't take any more 

I'm shakin' all over and my nerves are all raw 

Oh no, my head's a little sore 

Wanna get out but I can't find the door 

I'm sittin' on top of the world 

I'm sittin' on top of the world 

I'm sittin' on top of the world 

...
