Fig Tree

Shooting my mouth off again
Why am I out again?
Feeling so poor 'cause I spent all my money on
Trying to make sure that the sober feeling's gone

He was one of those blokes who would laugh at sexist jokes
He liked a pint of imported lager but
didn't like anyone with an imported father
I was shooting my mouth off again
Why am I out again?

Lay me down by the green fig tree
Nothing's enough so you won't remember me
Lay me down by the green fig tree
Nothing's enough so you won't remember me

He was one of those blokes who couldn't keep his hands to himself
I could feel my stomach turning as
he told me about his monthly earnings
I was shooting my mouth off again
Why am I out again?

Nine nights out of ten!

Lay me down by the green fig tree
Nothing's enough so you won't remember me
Lay me down by the green fig tree
Nothing's enough so you won't remember me

I saw my life branching out before me
Like the green fig tree in the story
At the tip of every branch like a
piece of fruit, was a future I should choose
