This is the second song added to the 2009 Columbia release of this album (“Le Flying Saucer Hat” was the first).
[Verse 1]
You're a certain kind of beggar at the top of the stairs
Get down to the bottom there, a new one there
I’ve seen you on the street trying to get it up
But no-one's putting change in your Dixie cup
[Chorus]
Everything I know is useless
Feeling if I don't know what to do next
Without a name or a place or a purpose
Everything I know is useless
Feeling if I don’t know what to do next
Without a name or a place or a purpose
[Bridge]

"Hey gypsy pirate

I can keep a secret
I can keep a secret

[Chorus]
Everything I know is useless
Feeling if I don't know what to do next
Without a name or a place or a purpose
[Outro]
The time is now is the
Time is now is the time is now
Is the time is now is
The time is now is the time
Without a name or a place or a purpose
