Plan B, The Rolling Stones - Wild Horses lyrics

When I look at you now
I just can't understand
How I ever could of looked up to you, man
Still I'm passed being mad, or losing my rag
Just find it sad 'cause you're the closest
Thing I had to a dad
And instead of looking up
I'm looking down at you fella
Days where I believed your crap have
Come and gone like the weather
Still you hide beneath your rain
Coat and stolen umbrella
What's wrong with you bredda
Come on, fucking get it together
You're getting close to fifty
Now - mature age
So let go of the whiskey now
And start acting your age
Can't spend the rest of your
Life killing your liver
Spend your last days acting like
You don't give a shit about nothing
Now you're old and you're bitter
'Cause your ex left you for
Another man she found fitter
Fitter, enough to raise two kids anyway
'Cause you ain't fit to be a
Fucking dad in any way
You're a degenerate alcoholic and
Have been for years
Your eyes are dry now but not
The tracks of your tears
And I see where they lead
Man I'm sorry that you're hurt
But, you can only blame yourself now
You're dick's in the dirt
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away

Down the pub each day in the Old Nag's Head
Just stay
Even wild, wild horses couldn't drag you away
Yeah, that's the one ain't it didn't you say
At your funeral that's the song
You want them to play?
You ain't got long now to go, bruv
Now it's clear you a slave to the drink
You'd sooner drink yourself into your grave
It's got to the stage where you
Love to drink every day
I say love as if you didn't love it
You sober up but hey
What you love more the suds or
Your own flesh and blood?
'Cause blud it's been two years since
You even gave them a hug
Let alone even let them hear your voice
There's no excuse it's not like
You haven't got a choice
What you gotta do is 'fix up, look sharp'
Stop drinking
Don't poison your body with anything
That stops you thinking
You're too old for all that
You've had your time, man
Don't act like a fool
Acting like you got a full cap
Of money for your youth's
You say you work just a sperm bank
Then show your ex some proof, just
A piece of what you earn, man
'Cause right now she's the only one
Who's paying for their schooling
No matter how much of a bitch you say she is
That's appalling
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away

When you gonna learn man? You fucked up again
Went and got another bird up
The fucking duff again
No doubt you won't give out for
This one like the others
And you dirty fucking pisshead cunt
Thank you God for mothers
'Cause dads ain't worth shit
It must be hereditary
You never knew yours and your
Kids don't know you
So set it G, a date with a surgeon
Under local anaesthetic Keith
I think it's time you went
And got yourself a vasectomy for real
I ain't joking blud I've fucking had enough
You know what it was like for
Both of us growing up
You never had a dad well neither did
I and you know it blud
'Cause you knew my dad you knew when
He left I was only a pup
So I can't condone that
Shit, abandoning your kids, you're a prick
I don't care what you say man
You make me sick
There's no excuse for that shit
You say you don't know where they are
But there's ways of finding out
You're just not trying very hard
They can't have gone very far
Your ex's family's still about
You could write your ex a letter
Asking her "let's sort this out"
And give it to her mum
So that she can pass it on
But, I suppose that's hard to
Do when you're motherfucking drunk
So you know what? Fuck it, or leave it alone
As long as you leave me alone 'cause
You don't need to be known
Like those chiefs who private number me
And breathe down the phone
Don't give a fuck about you now
Your true colours are shown
Next time you'll sees me at your
Funeral 'Wild Horses' by The Stones
So keep your fucking drink you'll need it
Now you're all on your own
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away
