Lyrics
When you first came to me
You lived on the street
So close to the edge
Against my better judgement
I let you stay
And we made a pledge
You shook my hand
To confirm the plan
And I’m a man of my word
Despite all of this
You haven’t even bothered to give me
A penny’s rent since the day you arrived
When I was a young lad
I learned from my Dad
That honour was all
Like his Father before
Respect is The Law
You break it you fall
Every mistake
Wrong turn I could take
Was scribed in blood on my soul
Hard knocks and pain
Shaped every refrain
Until my life reached its goal
An agreement was made
I won’t be betrayed
I’m not such a fool
Now my patience is spent
You’ve not paid your rent
You’ve broken the rules
Live and let live
I often forgive
But all your bridges are burned
Two weeks you’re out
No questions no doubts
And I’m a man of my word
No more excuses
Lies or abuse this
Ends here I will return
Two weeks you’re out
No questions no doubts
And I’m a man of my word
