lyrics

In these troubled times I fid each week a little harder
So my mates and I go out drinking on a Friday night
A skinful of beer leaves you feeling the hunger
We head on down to the market square and the Trailer of Life
The Trailer of Life, the Trailer of Life
Down the market square to the Trailer of Life

There’s a girl we meet most weeks by the trailer
She says she doesn’t go out much any other night
She spends her time just reading and praying
She says she feels out of place on the Trailer of Life
The Trailer of Life, the Trailer of Life
She feels out of place on the Trailer of Life

Strange cries in the evening air
We found her crumpled among the bins outside Trinity College
The ambulance man said it’s one more cry of despair
Too many pills in a town with too much knowledge

One of these dark nights you too may find yourself falling
You hope that you won’t but you know that you might
If it happens to you I hope somebody hears you calling
Helps you get back on the Trailer of Life
The Trailer of Life, the Trailer of Life
I hope you get what you need from the Trailer of Life
