Julia Marcell - Accordion Player lyrics

rate me

There was once an accordion player,

who didn't go to war.

His mother said "I know all you wanna do is play

but can't you see what's going on?

It's not about you anymore."

And so he stayed and played at home,

until they burned it down.

And when there was no bench to sit on

he would just sit on the ground.

And when he held his wounded friend

in his arms and death was all around,

he'd say "You see

it's not about you anymore."

"Oh, mother!

I could die a hero and bring glory to our home.

What would you do with a house full of glory if you

had to live there alone?"

"So I'd rather

play this song.

I want to die playing,

I want to die playing.

Die playing..."
