jez lowe and the bad pennies - old bones lyrics

Loading...

oh when i was young me father said to me, he said to me
never take advice when it comes for free
cause you can have all the riches of the golden kind
but without the riches of your peace of mind

he said
(chorus)
you won’t make old bones
you won’t make old bones
you won’t make old bones, you’ll see

and as the old men sit and curse time’s slipping sand, time’s slipping sand
i sit and curse the time upon my hands
and the north wind blows like a song of the sea
the song that it carriеs comes plain to me

and says
(chorus)

therе are some folks might remark on me furrows and frowns, me furrows and frowns
and say the only way’s to get up when they put you down
oh but everybody gives the same advice
they say, go, sign up for a soldier’s life

or
(chorus)
so i went to the army like everybody told me to do, they told me to do
they said we’d love to make a soldier out of you
but before i put me name on the line
me father’s words came to me in time

he said
(chorus)

i said your guns and your drums are not for the likes of me, the likes of me
although me future it might look bleaker than bleak can be
because you talk of many owing much to few
when all that i wanted was a job to do

they said
(chorus)

so you people in power and position, i tell you beware, i tell you beware
of your facts and your figures that tell you what when and where
because your facts and your figures are the likes of me
so don’t try and tell me how me life should be

or
(chorus)
