Lyrics: Just My Situation


by Jim Pembroke. Album: Pigworm (1974)
From Jim Pembroke Songbook (Love Kustannus, 1976):

Well, I went to my dear Liza
She said: Sorry, where's your invitation
I said: I'm out here on the pavement,
'cos I could not get a seat at the station.
Oh, but please don't say you're sorry
it don't matter - just my situation

She said: I don't have no need to
waste my time about your disposition
I got things I need to read
and I can't be too concerned
'bout your condition
You will always be a loser; a nobody
It's just your situation.

I said: You know that it ain't easy
for me to come and beg you
my direction
But I lost my one-'way ticket
and I could not get another
at the station.
Oh, but please don't say you're sorry
It don't matter
It's just my situation.

REFRE: And I gotta get away

REFRE: And I gotta get away
And I gotta get away, ay, ay, ay
And I gotta get away
Today - bye-bye
Bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
Just my situation.


A slightly different version, picked up by ear ("Jesse", Nuclear Netclub guestbook):

She said: Sonny, where's your invitation
I said: I'm stranger here on the pavement,
could not get relief at the station.
Oh, but please don't say you're sorry
it don't matter - just my situation.

She said: I don't have no need to
waste my time about your disposition
I got things I need to read
and I can't be too concerned
'bout your condition
you will always be a loser; a nobody
it's just your situation.

I said: You know that it ain't easy
for me to come and beg you
my direction
but I lost my one-way ticket
when I'm gone
and miss my last connection.
Oh, but please don't say you're sorry
it don't matter
it's just my situation.

So you get the picture
lost myself from down to your direction
and I double-crossed my lover
so I suffer nothing but the nation
Oh, but please don't say you're sorry
it don't matter
it's just my situation.
