When Tommy was sixteen
He went to sea
He packed his bag
Then it was thank you and goodbye
Exotic bars
And cheap fucks
Tattoos are a must
When you're drunk
Now he's someone everyone has seen
We can see really well, we are sitting in the front row
When Tommy falls off, Tommy falls off
He's drowning in a sea
Tommy falls off, Tommy falls off
He's drowning in a sea
But he lost a hand
And back to shore
Now he stays at hotels
And he drinks every night
He'd seen places
And the journeys were many
And he happily tells you
When the nights become long
Now he's someone everyone has seen
We can see really well, we are sitting in the front row
When Tommy falls off, Tommy falls off
He's drowning in a sea
Tommy falls off, Tommy falls off
He's drowning in a sea
When I meet Tommy
He's drunk as a skunk
He eats at his ma's
And lives on KAS
He looks at least forty
Even though he's twenty-five
And he tries to be nice
When he asks for a quid
Now he's someone everybody knows
We are watching as he drowns in his sea
When Tommy falls off, Tommy falls off
He's drowning in a sea
Tommy falls off, Tommy falls off
He's drowning in a sea
