The Company Lyrics - Fish

Where beggars take cheques and children steal credit cards 

from the pockets of wrecks in the middle of the road. 

I came to in my future and that was just yesterday, 

unsure of my past and that's a knot in my gut. 

You buy me a drink then you think that you've got the right 

to crawl in my head and rifle my soul. 

You tell me I'm free and want me to compromise 

to sell out my dreams you say you'll make it worthwhile. 

Oh, boys would you drink to me now 

here on the hill, half way up, half way down 

You tell me I'm drunk the you sit back and smug a while 

convinced that you're right that you're still in command of your senses. 

I laugh at your superior attitude 

your insincere plattitudes make me throw up. 

Oh, boys would you drink to me now 

here on the hill, half way up, half way down 

Oh, boys would you drink to me now 

here on the hill, half way up, half way down 

Oh for the company born to the company 

live for the company until I die. 

The sooner you realise that I'm perfectly happy 

if I'm left to decide the company I choose 

The company I choose is solidly singular 

totally trustworthy, straight and sincere 

polished, experienced, witty and charming 

so why don't you push off, this company's my own. 

Oh, boys would you drink to me now 

here on the hill, half way up, half way down 

Oh, boys would you drink to me now 

here on the hill, half way up, half way down 

Oh for the company, dream of the company 

live for the company until I die. 

Oh for the company, dream of the company 

drink to the company until we die 

until we die 

until we die.
