It started off all right, we'd go out Friday night   And have a drink and do whatever made us feel alright   We'd stay out all weekend, try takin' everythin'   Could never hurt no one and so what   You only live once I thought, 'til I got caught      As if that weren't enough for you, you'd go out Monday too   And Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 'til it all caught up with you   You're everyone's best friend, long as they've got somethin'   I did not know you no more, heartbreak, a sickness I can't see   Oh, oh, oh, no, no, no, no      Feltham is singin' out, Feltham is singin' out   Tonight a light's gone out, 21 years old and out   Feltham is singin' out      We all went out one night, you got us in a fight   You owed some money to a monkey who had seen you right   You sold your furniture so you could pay him off   They cut the power, can't afford it, you slept on the floor      You can't hold down a job, so then you had to rob   First from your mom and then your friends and then the local shops   But as a criminal, you're just no good at all   You got your collar felt, was so dumb   You thought about skippin' bail, now you're in jail      Feltham is singin' out, Feltham is singin' out   Tonight a light's gone out, 21 years old and out   Feltham is singin' out      You don't like prison life, you love to watch the sky   And y'all get beat and injured, end up throwin' up all night   You could not take no more, so when they closed the door   Tied up your sheets, strang yourself up   And then you were no more, no more      Every day I, I, I see your face   As I walk on by past that awful place   23 hours in a cell   Each and every day just locked up livin' hell   Livin' hell, livin' hell      Feltham is singin' out, Feltham is singin' out   Feltham is singin' out
