Jack Savoretti - The Borders lyrics
[Jack Savoretti - The Borders lyrics]
We were like brothers
Everybody said we looked the same
You a little taller, and broader, and bolder
We were afraid of your mother
Hell, she used to hit you so hard
And your dad took off when you were a baby
And you still hate me for my dad stuck around
You pin me to the ground
Eight years old with a replica
Gun pushin' in my skull
Saying you're gonna kill me if I tell
Never did, and I never will
That house was living hell come on
I remembеr my mother when she found a nеw man
And your mother thought she found a partner
A father for you
No wonder you can't stand me
I can't stand me, too i can't stand me, too
Oh, your gone mother repaired the anger in me
Spoke to me like I was an adult
Didn't take sides and didn't turn
Me against my dad
Then she took those pills and now she's gone
See her in the night in the corner of my eye
And I see her in the night
Heard you glassed a boy back in the borders
Some naughty family boys are after you
You pinned me to the wall and said my mother
Stole your inheritance from you, oh yeah?
We ain't got a penny between wor
Holding up this tin that we live in
You pinned me to the wall
And smashed a bottle
Your eyes the door to hell and all within ha
Everybody said we looked the same
You a little taller, and broader, and bolder
We were afraid of your mother
Hell, she used to hit you so hard
And your dad took off when you were a baby
And you still hate me for my dad stuck around
You pin me to the ground
Eight years old with a replica
Gun pushin' in my skull
Saying you're gonna kill me if I tell
Never did, and I never will
That house was living hell come on
I remembеr my mother when she found a nеw man
And your mother thought she found a partner
A father for you
No wonder you can't stand me
I can't stand me, too i can't stand me, too
Oh, your gone mother repaired the anger in me
Spoke to me like I was an adult
Didn't take sides and didn't turn
Me against my dad
Then she took those pills and now she's gone
See her in the night in the corner of my eye
And I see her in the night
Heard you glassed a boy back in the borders
Some naughty family boys are after you
You pinned me to the wall and said my mother
Stole your inheritance from you, oh yeah?
We ain't got a penny between wor
Holding up this tin that we live in
You pinned me to the wall
And smashed a bottle
Your eyes the door to hell and all within ha
