Generate meaning
1
Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did
2
I've got what I paid for now
3
see ya tomorrow, hey Frank, can I borrow
4
a couple of bucks from you, to go
5
Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, you'll go waltzing
6
Mathilda with me
7
I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley
8
and I'm tired of all these soldiers here
9
no one speaks English, and everything's broken
10
and my Stacys are soaking wet
11
to go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, you'll go waltzing Mathilda with me
12
now the dogs are barking
13
and the taxi cab's parking
14
a lot they can do for me
15
I begged you to stab me
16
you tore my shirt open
17
and I'm down on my knees tonight
18
Old Bushmill's I staggered, you buried the dagger in
19
your silhouette window light to go
20
waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, you'll go waltzing
21
Mathilda with me
22
now I lost my Saint Christopher now that I've kissed her and the one-armed bandit knows, and the maverick Chinamen, and the cold-blooded signs
23
and the girls down by the strip-tease shows go
24
waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, you'll go waltzing Mathilda with me
25
no, I don't want your sympathy, the fugitives say that the streets aren't for dreaming now
26
manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories
27
they want a piece of the action anyhow go
28
waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, you'll go waltzing Mathilda with me
29
and you can ask any sailor, and the keys from the jailor
30
and the old men in wheelchairs know
31
that Mathilda's the defendant, she killed about a hundred
32
and she follows wherever you may go
33
waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, you'll go waltzing
34
Mathilda with me
35
and it's a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace
36
and a wound that will never heal
37
no prima donna, the perfume is on
38
an old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
39
and goodnight to the street sweepers
40
the night watchman flame keepers
41
and goodnight to Mathilda too
