The Occasional Flicker
Dexys Midnight Runners

No, I don't want sympathy,

I just want somewhere for these sins to go

Compromise is the devil talking and he spoke to me

He mentioned something of moving in,

I conversed once with him and yes

He related to me how necessity is evil's mother

He has no father,

Only victims weak or strong

I hope this won't take long

I was right the first time,

I'll put it right with thirst now

Well, you might say I'm trying to redeem myself and in a way

I think that's true, but I'm just trying to bite off more than those

That chew more than I do

You could say that I'm a bitter man

And once again, I think that's true,

I will remain so until I better those

That know more than I do

It kind of reminds me of that burning feeling

I used to get

What?

You know, that little problem I used to get What

Are you still getting trouble with this?

Yeah, not all the time or anything

Like it was?

Yeah, sometimes

Are you sure it's not heartburn?

No, it's definitely not heartburn

It's just a little matter of a burning,

A little matter of a burning nature

It's not arson, it's not arson

It's OK it's my problem I'll deal with it myself
