lyrics

GROW OLD TOGETHER



I was in bed with my snorin’ wife
When I was struck by the truth
A dazzling truth, a sad-ass truth
We won’t grow old together

Sound the clarion, fill the fife
I wasted my youth with Ruth
Gloomy Bloody Cow Uncouth
We won’t grow old together

She had to buy a new family car
For the child she’ll get one day
A freckled face, a blonde son
She could love more than a daughter


I can’t breathe
With you near me
I can’t breathe
With you near me
Ouh ouh I can’t stand you
Ouh ouh I can’t I can’t
Ouh ouh I can’t stand you
Ouh ouh I can’t I can’t
I can’t stand you anymore


I got used to hanging out in bars
Filling myself with dismay
Wiskey kills like a legal gun
With silencer and stun

And so, this guy came
I didn’t know him
He said : « it ain't you to blame
A lack of love always maims (boys)
But don’t forget where you came from. »


We played beer pong and drank all night
We laughed at our misfortunes
But on the way back
I couldn’t walk straight
I fell and hit my head on the pavement
