the pot & kettle - the rumjacks lyrics
[verse 1]
one smoky day in a darkened scullery
doon by the river in a factory town
where bad things happen & the walls are drippn’
and the ghosts are flittin’ frae the cold hard ground
a pot & kettle on the hob were settled
a’ hissin’ their patter so bileous cruel
an awfy matter o’ clout & claterin’
battlin’ wits in a hideous duel
[chorus]
lids a rattlin’ belchin’ steam
life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream
‘you’re a lowly villain’
‘you’re a terrible liar’
‘but we’re both here cookin’ on the same old fire’
guts a bubblin’ belchin’ steam
life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream
‘you’re a chanty pot’
‘and you’re a sh-te for brains’
‘but we’re both here hangin’ on the same old chains’
[verse 2]
“i’ve roasted a wealth of exotic things
all torn to ribbons at the hands of kings
polished copper how i proudly shone
stealin the fire of the blazing sun”
“ye’ve boilt nae mair’n ’em old soup bones
ive boilt the tea for them stately homes
i were rattled like a drum each hogmanay
then scrubbed tae the devil on the follwin’ day”
[chorus]
lids a rattlin’ belchin’ steam
life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream
‘you’re a lowly villain’
‘you’re a terrible liar’
‘but we’re both here cookin’ on the same old fire’
guts a bubblin’ belchin’ steam
life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream
‘you’re a chanty pot’
‘and you’re a sh-te for brains’
‘but we’re both here hangin’ on the same old chains’
[bridge]
[chorus]
lids a rattlin’ belchin’ steam
life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream
‘you’re a lowly villain’
‘you’re a terrible liar’
‘but we’re both here cookin’ on the same old fire’
guts a bubblin’ belchin’ steam
life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream
‘you’re a chanty pot’
‘and you’re a sh-te for brains’
‘but we’re both here hangin’ on the same old chains’
[verse 3]
“o kettle yer metal is a terrible hue
riddled wi’ holes cannae hold yer brew
yer lids all crooked & yer sides bashed in
it’ll no be long afore ye see the bin”
“pot your not so bright as me
a hags old cauldron is all you’d be
you reek o’ gruel & you’re none too young
fit for to carry but the peels & dung”
[chorus 2]
lids a rattlin’ belchin’ steam
life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream
‘you’re a lowly villain’
‘you’re a terrible liar’
‘but we’re both here cookin’ on the same old fire’
guts a bubblin’ belchin’ steam
life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream
‘you’re an old p-ss bucket’
‘you’re a dented can’
‘but we’re neither as black as that roasting pan.’
[chorus]
lids a rattlin’ belchin’ steam
life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream
‘you’re a lowly villain’ / ‘but we’re neither as black’
‘you’re a terrible liar’
‘but we’re both here cookin’ on the same old fire’ / ‘but we’re neither as black as that roasting pan.’
guts a bubblin’ belchin’ steam
life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream
‘you’re a chanty pot’
‘and you’re a sh-te for brains’
‘but we’re both here hangin’ on the same old chains’
[chorus]
lids a rattlin’ belchin’ steam
life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream
‘you’re a lowly villain’ / ‘but we’re neither as black’
‘you’re a terrible liar’
‘but we’re both here cookin’ on the same old fire’ / ‘but we’re neither as black as that roasting pan.’
guts a bubblin’ belchin’ steam
life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream
‘you’re a chanty pot’ / ‘but we’re neither as black’
‘and you’re a sh-te for brains’
‘but we’re both here hangin’ on the same old chains’ / ‘but we’re neither as black as that roasting pan.’
