lyrics

You can tell me yours and I’ll say mine
First up I’ll have to file a restraining order against time
That bastard’s been on my case since 1985
And I took it for granted

When you come from nothing it’s easy to feel
Like everything is something but I want it to be real
Did I lose you? Confuse you? I’m sorry
I lost myself too

Don’t give up the ghost, Hank
If there’s one thing you can bank on
It’s that the albatross eventually rots and falls away from
Your neck that’s still so young
And I’m not tellin you not to have fun
But you’ve been sprintin for a while
And it’s a long run

Please don’t idolise these friends who live fast and die old
Romanticising sad dead men and if I may be so bold
They won’t contribute a great thing to the canon of rock and roll
That they’re so devoted to

Don’t give up the ghost, Hank
If there’s one thing you can bank on
It’s that the albatross eventually rots and falls away from
Your neck that’s still so young
And I’m not tellin you not to have fun
But you’ve been sprintin for a while
And it’s a long run
