My Virtue’s Gone (Hooray Hooray)

Lyrics

And great, bloody hunks fell off of me And great big chunks fell into the sea My timber is going, I can hardly sail No longer the boat, I'm out of jail There's hardly anything left of me No longer the boat, I'm only the sea And look! My virtue's being swept away Look! Look! My virtue's being swept away It's that big bloody piece, just out of reach Vultures pick it apart on the beach The last part of me is swallowed up whole No longer the fruit, i'm only the bowl I hold it all, I hold & hold (I have no use for pirates' gold) I hold it all, I hold & hold (I have no use for jewelers' gold) I once had hands to wring for joy / sorrow (Though all my virtue has been sold) Wrung out till there was everything / nothing left (The sea poured in and I was told) It ate my final piece today My virtue's gone Hooray! Hooray!
