"I have cursed, bled and sworn
Jumped bail and landed up in jail
Life has often tried to stretch me
But the rope always was slack
And now that I've a pile
I'll go down to the Chelsea
I'll walk in on my feet
But I'll leave there on my back"
Lyrics by Shane MacGowan of The Pogues from the song "Streams Of Whiskey" on the album "Red Roses For Me" 1984.
Shane sounds totally pissed singing this, which wouldn't be out of the ordinary.
