lyrics

I Feel Like Robert Mitchum

In this cold & cruel city under a stranger called the sun
I feel like Robert Mitchum without a coat or hat or gun
My life’s a black & white movie in the shadows of a dirty sky
I feel like Robert Mitchum so build my gallows high.

This dark old river mocks me ‘cause it knows you’re not there
I feel like Robert Mitchum when he said ‘baby, I don’t care.’
These shabby streets will taunt me as this heart turns to stone
I feel like Robert Mitchum when he made his stand alone.

Chorus
I don’t care if you remember what once you were to me
You were cold as November but now my heart is free
I don’t care if you remember what once you were to me
You were cruel as December but now my heart is free.

All I need is a cigarette, all I need is a whisky glass
I feel like Robert Mitchum when all his dreams had passed
Give me a fallen woman whose scorn I can understand
I feel like Robert Mitchum with love & hate on his hands.

(Instrumental)

Chorus

On a road of no return under a grey sky overcast
I feel like Robert Mitchum in Out Of The Past
As a drink sodden soldier or a lonely weary sleuth
I feel like Robert Mitchum in search of a truth.

Now I’m riding on a dark train to a station called Despair
I feel like Robert Mitchum lost without a prayer
My life will always be broken & my heart always will tear
But I feel like Robert Mitchum when he said: ‘baby, I don’t care’
But I feel like Robert Mitchum when he said: ‘baby, I don’t care.’
Yes, I feel like Robert Mitchum when he said: ‘baby, I don’t care.’
