The Wildhearts

... anyone got 'em all figured out and typed up yet?

This is what I have so far...

Well, I've been around the towns and the cities,
The clowns and fake titties, and the ass kissing idiot.
Been shot down, flat broke ????????????????????????

suicide, heroin. I'm the kinda missin' guy you're never gonna see again.
I sure hope that they're all listenin'.

Ahh, mercy. This kind of shit would kill a lesser man.
Ahh, mercy. That kind of shit would kill a lesser man.

It gets hard on the knees, I'm only livin' to please.
Whatcha gonna do in times like these...

The boy's alright, he can put up a fight.
Believe me.
And you can kiss my ass on the way out the door,
When you're leavin'.
Try bringin' this motherfucker down, ain't gonna be easy.
I'm doin' alright, believe me.

Well I lost my cash, and I lost my bed,
Then I lost my soul to a bitch I wish I'd never had.
????????????????????????????????????????????

Ahh, mercy. This kind of shit would kill a lesser man.

And you can kiss my ass on the way out the door,
When you're leavin'.
Try bringin' this motherfucker down, ain't gonna be easy.
I'm doin' alright, believe me

Take what they want, ya' keep what ya' need. X10

That's right, I'm doin' alright.
That's right, I'm doin' alright.
That's right, I'm doin' alright.
That's right.

I've second-checked these, and they all appear to be correct. I also can't make out all of the "????" parts.

In the first one, it definitely ends with "lost a few friends", but the first part is still a mystery. It might be "just a little, or just to live".

the second mystery section, here's what I can hear (maybe)

...time can't cure ?????? so bad
beaten by police and venerial diseases
I took a wacky flavour til my liver was in pieces
a few hard knocks don't mean I can be defeated.

-----------------------

my confidence level in these lyrics ranges from 40% to 100%. Feel free to provide more insight.

This is quite fun figuring out things like this. In the future I think I'll take a more actve role in the deciphering of the lyrics of newer songs.

Amended

Well, I've been around the towns and the cities,
The clowns and fake titties, and the ass kissin' idiot.
Been shot down, flat broke ????????????????????????
I've lost a few friends, suicide heroin,
How ya' gonna miss a guy you're never gonna see again?
I sure hope that they're all listenin'.

Well I lost my cash, and I lost my bed,
Then I lost my soul to a bitch I wish I'd never had.
Time in jail wasn't half so bad.
beaten by police and venereal diseases.
I drank a whiskey river 'til my level was in pieces.
I few hard knocks don't mean I can beat a feelin'.

Ahh, mercy. This kind of shit would kill a lesser man.

Nice job on "time in jail"!

"whiskey river" sounds right, as opposed to "wacky flavour".

"beat a feelin'"? Are you sure? I still like "be defeated".

Yes... that does sound better, doesn't it?

Defeated.

I think I've got them all now. "been shot down, flat broke and desolate.... " "... 'til my LIVER was in pieces... "

Yes, I freely admit that I have far too much free time.

I'd just like to take this opportunity to say "Fsck Me, that's a top tune". Best of the 3 on the single by some margin... Don't think it would sit easily on the album though, not got the right "feel".
