I cried And have you brought us gifts from the world so wide? A finger to his lips, he took me aside He looked like a man with something to hide, he said All I ever got from following my wish Was a wet arse and not a lot of fish Somewhere in his mind he's waiting up for me Like a fisherman whose sons have run away to sea Sometimes the lines get slack, so it's High time I covered up my tracks Following in father's footsteps down the line, all down the line Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Billy Came Back From Vietnam, Mr Oysterhead, Oz Is Everfloating, Rubberneck Lions, The Armys Ecstacy, Dime Con Qui?N Andas, Duerme, El B?Lsamo De Fierabr?S, El Se?Or De Los Gramillos, Es Hora De Marchar, Fiesta Pagana, Hasta Que El Cuerpo Aguante, Hasta Que Tu Muerte Nos Separe, La Cruz De Santiago, Maite Zaitut, Molinos De Viento, Requiem, Santa Compa?A, Satania, Tres Tristes Tigres, At sea, Cry, Do You Love Me, Icon dj, Indian summer, Inhaling, Intersexual, La donna e mobile, Ocean, Rainbow, Rescua, Rescue, Sweet Instigator, This Is All I Have, Vespertine, Word Up, A Satisfied Mind, Absolute Zero, Arroyo, Backroads, Bad Road, Bar Hoppin, Beauty In The River, Better Days, Black Leather, Black Sky, Breakaway (From Those Chains), Chicken Train, Chicken Train Stomp, Cobblestone Mountain, Other Oyster Band song Lyrics A Careless Life Lyrics Another Quiet Night In England Lyrics Between The Wars Lyrics Coal Creek Mine Lyrics Flatlands Lyrics Following in Fathers Footsteps Lyrics Hal An Tow Lyrics Pigsty Billy Lyrics Rambling Irishman Lyrics The Early Days Of A Better Nation Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Oysterhead Lyrics Oz M?go De Lyrics Ozark Henry Lyrics Ozark Mountain Daredevils Lyrics Ozma Lyrics Ozomatli Lyrics Ozzie Nelson Lyrics P Box Lyrics P Diddy F Black Rob G Dep Lyrics P Drs Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
