The Coral - I Remember When lyrics

I remember when I saw the sea freeze But it said nothing of the birds and the bees That were swarming around my head Singing You'd be better off dead But I ain't going down like that No I ain't going down like that Because I'm better than him And I know where I've been And I know where I'm comin' from A lie is a sin, but don't we all sin That is the truth, and the truth is grim Now he's in jail and his story is for sale The farmer's dog wags his crippled tail It points to the West and leaves out the rest And invites you to be his special guest I remember when I saw the leaves fall I was in the woods, in a gown you wouldn't wear to the ball Into the ditch I fly wanted dead or alive But I ain't going down like that No I ain't going down like that
