The Wreck of the Eddie Fitzpatrick
When you grow up with God on your side
You're bound to feel, as if you've been cheating
Cause he put that glint in your eye
Got you a good job in industrial sheeting
He gave you nights with your father's old war buddy's daughter
She's got gifts only sailors could name
You're not sure if right is what you're doing by her
But you'd rather the cost than the shame
Eddie Fitzpatrick is going to hell
Eddie Fitzpatrick is going to hell
Your wife drinks the steel from her glare
Her taffeta rustling beneath your son's fingers
Grandfather snores in his chair
Oblivious to the faint odour that lingers
St. Benedict's lies midway between shift's end and mistress
You prostrate yourself and chalk up your sins
As a means to an end, as a ounce of prevention
Cause you'd much rather bash their bloody skulls in
Eddie Fitzpatrick is going to hell
Eddie Fitzpatrick is going to hell
The pulpit rings with "Jesus Saves"
You've always been a spender
They play "Ave Maria"
You sing "The Great Pretender"
Senator Joe's on the radio, painting the town red
Somewhere a tombola has spit out your name
Your serial number and a holiday brochure
Daejong on five dollars a day
Eddie Fitzpatrick is going to hell
Eddie Fitzpatrick is going to hell
Eddie Fitzpatrick is going to hell
Eddie Fitzpatrick is going to hell
