Roaring Jack - Shell Shocked Crowd lyrics

I got the letter that you left behind you It read like a newspaper ten days old I could never understand the way that you could change me I thought I had it figured now I'm left out in the cold. I threw away the job workin' in the factory You're just a piece of nuts when you're workin' on the floor Thought of writing words for some foreign publication I'm putting pen to paper now you're walking out the door. It's a dull bell of change when you lose your wife and friends To a heart that beats too loud It's a dull bell of change but you've got to make a push Away from the shell-shocked crowd. I sold the car, I sold the television You took the kids and you went back home to mum. I know for sure that you don't understand me But darlin' take a look around, the struggle's just begun. I've had the time, I've had the time to sit and think I've had the time to be a cynic and a liar. It makes no sense when your back's against another wall Who needs uncertainty whilst walking on the wire.
