Graham Parker & The Rumour
Текст песни Old Soul

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
