***USA - written by Shane MacGowan
from the album "Peace And Love"
USA - As performed by The Pogues
FWhen I was young I watched the cars
When I was older I drank in bars
When I was Fyoung I chewed the Fleaves
When I was older I drank with thieves
FI found a love She gave me dreams
She left me drunk In New Orleans
So cold and Flonely So all aFlone
I wished my heart Was made of stone
I Ftook the cold bright Fneedle I Fused it as a Fsword
My Feyes have seen the Fglory of The Gcoming of the FLord
I Fburned across the dFelta I Fswam across the fFord
My Feyes have seen the Fglory of The Gcoming of the FLord
When I was a young man Standing on this road
My empty belly An aching hole
An old man said to me "Kid don't you know
That it's the same Wherever you go"
(not too sure about this part...)
FI gambled in two graveyards I won against the odds
With the saints And the saviours With the Gmaggots and the Fgods
FI cursed the things they showed me I could never see again
And the howling of the wind at night IG wrote upon the Frain
FI found the thing For which I prayed
And came back home To the USA
With a heart of Fstone And now I Fknow
That it's the same Wherever you go
