Graham Parker & The Rumour - Old Soul lyrics

rate me

THEY SAID YOU WAS AN OLD SOUL

THEY SAY A LOT OF THINGS

THEY SAID YOU HAD YOUR OWN GOALS

AND PULLED A LOT OF STRINGS

THEY SAID THAT YOU WAS LOW CLASS

PERPETUAL ICONOCLAST

I KNEW THAT LOVE COULD NOT LAST

WITH AN OLD SOUL LIKE YOU

I HEARD YOU HAD A STRANGE PAST

I HEAR A LOT OF THINGS

YOU WORE A LOT OF STRANGE MASKS

AND CLIPPED A LOT OF WINGS

LIKE VENOM IN A SHOT GLASS

LIKE LIQUEUR IN A HOT FLASK

I KNEW THAT LOVE COULD NOT LAST

WITH AN OLD SOUL LIKE YOU

WHY THIS HAMMERING IN MY HEAD

I CAN’T HEAR MYSELF THINK

WHY AM I LEFT HALF ALIVE

WHEN YOU’RE ONLY HALF DEAD

I THOUGHT YOU WAS A SWEET CHILD

I THINK A LOT OF THINGS

YOU LED ME ON A RIDE SO WILD

ALL BUMPERCARS AND SWINGS

YOU SWORE THAT YOU WAS HIGH CLASS

BUT YOU BROUGHT ME DOWN SO LOW SO FAST

I KNEW THAT LOVE COULD NOT LAST

WITH AN OLD SOUL LIKE YOU X3
