Well if you call this a life
Why must I spend mine with you?
If the show must go on
Let it go on without you

So sick and tired
Of hanging around with jerks like you

Who'll tell me those lies
Let me think they're true? Yeah
What am I to do?
You want it, I've got it too

Though the laughs may be cheap
That's just 'cause the joke's about you
I'm so sick and tired
Of hanging around with dogs like you

You're the first to get laid
Always the last bitch to get paid

Who'll tell me those lies
And let me think they're true? Yeah
I heard one or two

And they weren't about me
They weren't about her
They were all about you

Well I may miss you
But missing me just isn't you
I'm so sick and tired
Of hanging around dogs like...

I'm so sick and tired...
What should I do?

You want, you get
So how come I'm still in love with you?
 
 

TrackTalk
 

That song was hanging around for 3 years. After researching to make sure it wasn't somebody else who wrote it, I finally decided that it must have been me. But... I AM proud of it.

Charlie: The classic one on this album is the one Keith's done. I mean, I didn't know what... right up until about 2 months before the album... has now come out.
Mick: Which one are you talking about, Charlie?
Charlie: I mean, I didn't know...
Mick: Which song... ?
Bill: All About You.
Mick: Oh, All About You.
Bill: The "train song".
Mick: Yeah.
Charlie: Yeah.
Ron: Train Song, that's what we knew it as.
Charlie: Yeah, Keith's, yeah... Oh nobody knows...
Bill: It's just a track called Train Song.
Charlie: And I never knew what Keith was going to (put) on it, I never knew what he wanted... But it was a great track to play. That's being a drummer, you know?
Ron: He ended up singing that too, which is quite pleasing.
Charlie: Yeah, it's great. But I mean...
Mick: It's not me singing it (laughs).
Charlie: How he made a song out of it, I don't know.

It had a little bit of sentimental input there about his feelings for Mick at the time. Just listen to the lyrics.

I went through a very tough thing in the early 80s with Mick. So you get some songs like All About You, to name just one. There's more on some of the Winos records.
