Joe Pug - Hymn 101 lyrics

rate me

And I've come to know the wish list of my father<br />

I've come to know the shipwrecks where he's been<br />

I've come to wish allow<br />

Among the overdressed crowd<br />

Come to witness now the sinking of this ship<br />

Throwing pennies from the sea top next to it<br />

<br />

And I've come to roam the forest<br />

Past the village<br />

With a dozen lazy horses in my cart<br />

I've come here to get high<br />

To do more than just get by<br />

I've come to test the timber of my heart<br />

Oh I've come to test the timber of my heart<br />

<br />

And I've come<br />

To be untroubled in my seeking<br />

And I've come<br />

To see that nothing is for not<br />

I've come to reach out blind<br />

To reach forward and behind<br />

For the more I seek<br />

The more I'm sought<br />

Yea the more I seek<br />

The more I'm sought<br />

<br />

And I've come to meet the sheriff<br />

And his posse<br />

To offer him the broad side of my jaw<br />

I've come here to get broke<br />

And maybe bum a smoke<br />

We'll go drinking two towns over after all<br />

Oh we'll go drinking two towns over after all<br />

<br />

And I've come to meet the legendary takers<br />

I've only come to ask them for a lot<br />

Aw they say I come with less<br />

Than I should rightfully possess<br />

I say: The more I buy<br />

The more I'm bought<br />

And the more I'm bought<br />

The less I cost<br />

<br />

And I've come<br />

To take their servants and their surplus<br />

And I've come<br />

To take their rain coats and their speed<br />

I've come to get my fill<br />

To ransack and spill<br />

I've come to take the harvest for the seed<br />

I've come to take the harvest for the seed<br />

<br />

And I've come to know the manger you sleep in<br />

I've come to be the stranger that you keep<br />

I've come from down the road<br />

And my footsteps never slowed<br />

Before we met I knew we'd meet<br />

Before we met I knew we'd meet<br />

<br />

And I've come here to ignore you cries and heartaches<br />

I've come to closely listen to you sing<br />

I've come here to insist<br />

That I leave here with a kiss<br />

I've come to say exactly what I mean<br />

And I mean so many things<br />

<br />

And you've come<br />

To know me stubborn as a bitcher<br />

And you've come<br />

To know me thankless as a guest<br />

But will you recognize my face<br />

When god's awful grace<br />

Strips me of my jacket and my vest<br />

And reveals all the treasure in my chest.</
