john butler trio – coffee, methadone & cigarettes كلمات اغاني
[verse]
see my old man has a broken heart
he got a leaky valve and aneurysm, but
trace it back to the start
when that big ol’ fire came towards the nannup town
well that greedy thing burnt more than the bush down
[chorus]
you can bury that head and try to forget
he’s still waking up with coffee, methadone & cigarettes
[verse]
in the summer of fifty-eight
when innocence, shattered and broke
the tree, the egg, the nest, the breast, the yolk
when those thieving flames took my granddad from my pa
and ever since then we’ve been mending all those scars
[chorus]
but the bandages and ointments ain’t done it
he’s still waking up with coffee, methadone & cigarettes
[verse]
that broken bird somehow grew
with the seven brothers and sisters moved
from the country to the zoo
between the legacy visits and the boarding schools
yes he learned to dodge the books
and he learned to dodge the fools
[chorus]
says he’s made mistakes but lives with no regrets
he’s still waking up with coffee, methadone & cigarettes
[verse]
grandma on sunday, used to eat the, chicken leg
she said she wasn’t hungry and the kids could have the rest
when those kids grew they learnt what she’d done
she would go hungry for all of them
she’d go hungry for everyone
[chorus]
and now she’s gone and it’s h-ll in the hand basket
still waking up with coffee, methadone & cigarettes
[verse]
see my old man has a broken heart
he got a leaky valve and aneurysm, but you
trace it back to the start
when that big old fire came towards the end of town
well that greedy thing burnt more than the bush down
[chorus/outro]
you can bury that head and try to forget
you can bury that head and try to live with no regrets
you can bury that head and it’s all gone to sh-t
he’s still waking up with coffee methadone cigarettes
and now she’s gone and it’s h-ll in the hand basket
he’s still waking up to coffee methadone cigarettes
