Оригинален текст
Ive been washing myself down in your backwaters
Ive been filling up my lungs in your city streets
Ive seen the up-side and the down of your servants quarters
Ive been grinding down my hands in your empty fields
So spare me some extra before you go
Theres a man who cashes cheques at the liquor store
Chorus:
Im not asking for charity
Just help me till the next time I get paid
I dont care if you need me
Just keep me. In the black for another day
Ive sent a letter of application a 1000 times
Ive been trying to climb the ladder in a borrowed tie
But you never give me a call back when you say
And you put me on the long figure for another day
So spare me some extra before you go
Theres a man who cashes cheques at the liquor store
Chorus
In the black 2004 Declan Murray / Amith Narayan
