The Don (Live from the London Astoria)

歌詞

Thinkin' of poems of poverty Sittin' with a tight-clenched wrist Thinkin' how to gain authority Oh what a soft touch of a boy He?d wander with pride to sell And keep visions to his self Visions to his self We?d talk of treasure and overrated games We?d steal the milk bottles Sneakin' through the back 'round Jimmy?s way What we loved most of all was sittin' 'round the shop While this young boy was sittin' all alone, sittin' all alone Ponderin' times of sanctuary He was takin' his piano lessons, we were on half an E Invested life in medicine, which isn't the wisest way to go Had so much shit going on, convinced he?d never win Convinced he was a sin We?d speak of women and cheaper carryouts We?d turn up to all the festivals, tryin' to bring down the touts What we loved the most of all was sittin? 'round the shop While this poor boy was sittin? all alone, sittin? all alone We?d talk of treasure and overrated games We?d steal the milk bottles Sneakin' through the back 'round Jimmy?s way What we loved most of all was hangin' 'round the shop While this young boy was sittin' all alone He didn't find none of his own kind (None of his own kind) He didn?t have none of his own kind (None of his own) You should take interest in his mind Not spend all of his time Wastin' all his money and his time Thinkin' of poems of poverty (Writin' lines and drinkin' tea) Sittin' with a tight-clenched wrist Thinkin' how to gain authority (How to gain authority) Oh what a soft touch of a don He?d wander with pride to sell And keep visions to his self Visions to his self We?d talk of treasure and overrated games We?d steal the milk bottles Sneakin' through the back 'round Jimmy?s way What we loved most of all was hangin' 'round the shop While this young boy was sittin' all alone, sittin? all a- We?d talk of treasure and overrated games Steal the milk bottles Sneakin' through the back 'round Jimmy?s way What we loved most of all was hangin' 'round the shop (Hangin' 'round the shop!) What we loved most of all was waitin' 'round the shop (Waitin' 'round the shop!) What we loved most of all was sittin' 'round the shop (Sittin' 'round the shop!) What we loved the most was hangin' round the shop While this young boy was sittin' all alone
