mc5 - ... so help me God.

I took up interior decorating, but I got plastered

Then I tried being a trawlerman, but there was just something fishy about it.

I was doing watch repairs for a while. At first it went like clockwork, but then I got ticked off.

My stint in a paper perforating shop ended when I was sacked for being a tearaway.

Min you, not as bad as being sacked from that brass band for blowing my own trumpet.
