I travelled from Dublin, you said you'd change the world
You sing like Sinatra, always
You pulled 'em for miles now, like Garbo in Berlin
You played 'em for zeroes, just like always

Tonight, some bitch is hassling me
And tonight, it feels so good feeling cheap

I can only disappoint you 'cos I always let you down
I can only disappoint you 'cos I always let you down

You turned a man cuckoo, half animal, half grace
The chick was a teaser, always
Tonight, their hips will swivel and turn
So we drove, to the place where we first met

I can only disappoint you 'cos I always let you down
I can only disappoint you, always

The queens they all loved you, the tall, the short, the fair
The sailors, the psychos, always
And here, I faltered, gun in my hand
And you, with "piggies" scrawled on your wall
And tonight, her note said "better off dead"
And the earth has never moved for me since

I can only disappoint you 'cos I always let you down
I can only disappoint you, always
I can only disappoint you 'cos I always let you down
I can only disappoint you 'cos I always let you down
'Cos I always let you down
'Cos I always let you down

'Cos I always let you down
'Cos I always let you down
('Cos I always let you down) 'Cos I always let you down
'Cos I always let you down
'Cos I always let you down
'Cos I always let you down
'Cos I always let you down
