Did rather a lot of collabs with Ritt over the years. This is the last I'll post of these for a while - the rest will be included in the tribute album(s) due in the summer.
Nobody's Hero
I am the longshoreman
fish hook in hand
down by the sea is my home
out on the dock, hard work and foam
pain is the only game in town
back, feet, heavy aching crown
my port of call, I don't complain
stains of virtue engrained
I lay deep inside a broken mans credo
I do what I do for the love
I ain't nobody's hero
do yourself a favor and stay out of my way
don't say nothing if there's nothing nice to say
even then it's better to keep it to your self
trust me you don't want no part of my hell
still it's heaven, when they lock the gate
for this one time St Pete's on my side
saying good job, sleep well my longshoreman friend
I lay deep inside a broken mans credo
I do what I do for the love
I ain't nobody's hero
I am the longshoreman
fish hook in hand
down by the sea is my home
out on the dock, hard work and foam
I ain't nobody's hero
I ain't nobody's hero
I ain't nobody's hero
