Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was under the Calvary Cross
The pale faced lady, she said to me
I've watched you with my one green eye
And I'll hurt you till you need me
[Verse 2]
You scuff your heels and you spit on your shoes
You do nothing with a reason
One day you catch a train
It never leaves the station
[Verse 3]
Everything you do
Everything you do
You do for me
[Verse 4]
Now you can make-believe on your tin whistle
And you can be my broom boy
And scrub me till I shine in the dark
I'll be your light till doomsday
[Verse 5]
Oh, if a black cat crossed your path
And why don't you follow?
My claw's in you and my light's in you
This is your first day of sorrow
[Verse 6]
Everything you do
Everything you do
You do for me
