jack davies and the bush chooks - michael lyrics

Loading...

well, i hugged a stranger on the corner of parry street
he was cryin’ about his brother’s death
was clingin’ onto me

and i was quick to judge him
from a crying man, i nearly walked away
but it’s a cold world for those who suffer
and the least i could do is stay

and rolled this man his cigarette
watched him cry into my arms
held by the cold, free men to live, and the distant car alarms

on a quiet, thursday evenin’
after seein’ a friend play a show
i thought about my own three brothers
it’s been a while since we’ve been close

but michael lost his brother
whilst he was locked in a jail bag
he was the oldest of three siblings
and he wished that god would take him instead

and i felt him tremble
i felt him shakin’ in my arms
oh, he’d speak to me so softly
and then he’d scream at passin’ cars
so, i asked where he was headed
and he said he was off to see his little boy
he had a family left shattered
and a younger brother left destroyed

so, i said “well, you better be strong for your family”
and then he told me his brother’s name
and the bitterness in the winter’s air
stole our words once again

so i rolled him another cigarette
and he told me that i had lucky eyes
and i looked at his and saw them glistening
in the cold street lights

and he grabbed my hand
he asked if i was sent from above
oh, but i had just walked from the kebab shop
oh, i wish that was enough

but he said he’s got some dope on him
if i wanna get high in the morn’
and i just shrugged and said “maybe, my friend”
and that’s the last i ever saw

the last i saw of poor, ol’ michael
though, i still feel his heart tear
oh, it bellowed through the concrete
and the old winter’s air
[?]
