Lyrics:
this ain't some bullshit
People don't usually come back this way
From a place that was dark as I was in
Just to get to this place
Now let these words
A lonely mother gazing out of her window
Staring at a son that she just can't touch.
If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side,
But he
over to the island of Jersey, followed by a swift little airplane ride 3000 kilometres due...east of
ah...well no, no, got that wrong, due west
on tour even getting it overseas
All the way in Switzerland stacking swisser-cheese
I ain't too good for that brown paper bag
I can still move that work
when you walk out
Never a day goes by
When I don't cry
Maybe I'll find a way, living from day to day
Look what you done tonight, Niagara Falls
they tell us that the phones is tapped
I watch my back twenty-fo' seven
And never let a busta send a G to ghetto heaven, you know!
This is how it goes
That Friday night seemed just like any other
Friday night Jimmy wasnt gonna play
Sittin on the bench chompin at the bit knowin he was better
5'6"
When I called you up
You asked me what do you want
I want a stone castle on a cliff
By the side of the sea
With some horses and some sheep
And a pond
That Friday night seemed just like any other
Friday night,Jimmy wasn't gonna play.
Sitting on the bench chomping at the bit, knowing he was
Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Life goes by
And things get slower
Everyday I get a little lower
Need some time to get my moving
I need a woman
To give me some soothin'
Easy life
But it turns out that doesn't pay
Jimmy doesn't know what he's gonna do
But he knows he can't go on this way
And though they may not carry weight
Jimmy
that by your bootstraps
'Cause that's the way it really goes
Only so long you can keep this charade
Before they wake up and see they've been played
I remember when my grandma said that I like to sleep in
I guess she's right 'cause I'm always tired in the morning
And my life goes by, and my life
There is a way that leads to life
The few that find it never die
Past mountain peaks graced white with snow
The way grows brighter as it goes
Affects my life in such a way
I learn to hate it every minute!
I don't want to know
'Bout the things that you pull
Outta your nose
Or where they
It doesn't come to me like that
Lost in a sea of verbs
Sent to drown amongst the words
There she goes
She walks on by
Stumbling to
Her new life
There

Shot him in the back of the head and shanked him with a knife

south to Cape Otway, then again north.
Along the rock cliffs of Port Campbell
that mean Dingo did ramble
past the tawny Twelve Apostles
attacked
By a rage of hunchmen!
Making his way through the
Evening traffic, greggery notices
That the other vehicles which
Crowd and bump his little red car
Under the sunshine
As the shadows of town climb
He pictures a deity
Watering the daises that he left behind
They meet each other by the cliffs
She's
night & day
My love is there both night & day
Did someone break your heart
Right now you feel that
That's the way love goes
But love will never
