    Story Behind the Song
    It takes more than a little trouble to dampen a good spirit. Keep looking for that silver lining.

    Lyrics
    I don't know why you're treating me so bad
    Sick and tired of your persecution
    I've always tried to be a good lad
    Except for one or two little indescretions
    I was doing the best that I can
    Trying to be an honest man
    And all I wanted from you was compassion.

    But there was none of that coming from you
    What I want to know is just who'se gettin it
    Paid so much damn dues to yer blues
    Now all I own is an empty pocket.
    I've done everything you said
    Jumped all your fences and never got paid
    Now all I want from you is some money

    Come on now don't be mean
    Make it green
    Make it the sweetest thing that I've ever seen
    Throw a few figures in the money box
    Of a Giro

    And I'll be back on top by Christmas
    That's the target
    Resolution
    Guys you're all gonna dig this
    Girls prepare for a new sensation
    No more walking tightropes till I stumble and fall
    Like Jeckyl & Hyde or Belle of the Ball
    I'll be back on top
    By Christmas
    Or maybe Hogmanay
    Better make that Easter.
