See my old man has a broken heart Gotta leaky valve, an aneurysm But, trace it back to the start When that big old fire came towards Nannup town That greedy thing burnt more than the bush down You can bury the dead and try to forget You're still waking up with Coffee, methadone and cigarettes
In the summer of fifty eight When innocence shattered and broke The tree, the egg, the nest, the breast, the yolk When those thieving flames Took my grandad from my Pa And ever since then we've been mending all those scars But the bandages and ointment ain't done yet You're still waking up with Coffee, methadone and cigarettes
That broken bird somehow grew With his seven brothers and sisters Moved from the country to the zoo Between the legacy visits and the boarding schools Yes he learnt to dodge the books And he learnt to dodge the fools Says he's made mistakes But lives with no regrets Still waking up with Coffee, methadone and cigarettes
Grandma on Sunday Used to eat the chicken neck Said she wasn't hungry and the kids could have the rest When those kids grew they learnt just what she'd done She would go hungry for all of them She'd go hungry for everyone Now she's gone and it's hell in the hand basket Still waking up with Coffee, methadone and cigarettes
See my old man has a broken heart Got a leaky valve, an aneurysm But yeah trace it back to the start When that big old fire came towards Nannup town That greedy thing burnt more than the bush down You can bury the dead and try to forget You can bury the dead and try to live with no regrets You can bury the dead and it's all gone to shit Still waking up with Coffee, methadone and cigarettes Now she's gone And it's hell in a hand basket Still waking up with Coffee, methadone and cigarettesTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
