Lyrics of Song Wreck Of The Hesperus

I´m not the wreck of the hesperus
Feel more like the wall of china
Getting old as methuselah
Feel tall as the eiffel tower

I´m not a power of attorney
But i can rock as good as gibraltar
Ain´t no more no spring chicken
Been plucked but i´m still kicking
But it´s alright, it´s alright

Poison penmen sneak, have no nerve to speak
Make up lies then they leak ´m out
Behind a pseudonym, the rottenness in them
Reaching out trying to touch me

Met some oscars and tonys
I slipped on a pavement oyster
Met a snake climbing ladders
Got out of the line of fire
(but it´s alright)

Brainless writers gossip nonsenses
To others heads as dense as they is
It´s the same old malady
What they see is faulty

I´m not the wreck of the hesperus
Feel more like big bill broonzy
Getting old as my mother
But i tell you i got some company
(but it´s alright)

But it´s alright, it´s alright
But it´s alright, it´s alright
It´s alright, alright
It´s alright
