about

I ended up in trouble this week, spent a load of time on something that didn’t work out, so here’s an old tune that I never worked on. In THE BOOK it’s right next to “I Want You to Know“, which likely means it was written just before or after that.

It possibly needs a bit more on the writing front. It possibly needs a whole pile of things, but only time will tell…

lyrics

I claimed the last of the hooch this Sunday,My head feels like I drank the whole world dry,
And I bared my soul on Monday,
Like a life spread out to smile.

Feeling older – wildly fit,
Like a saw into a jig,
And it still burns and it still hurts,
And I still yearn and I still curse.

I took care of business gladly,
I smiled off the lack of air,
And the world it smiled on me sweetly,
So I take joy in the pint of plain.

But I’m feeling older – wildly fit,
Like a saw into a jig,
And it still burns and it still hurts,
And I still yearn and I still curse.

I’m feeling older – wildly fit,
Like a saw into a jig,
And it still burns and it still hurts,
And I still yearn and I still curse.
