lyrics
She was happy once
In the shadows
Of our youth
Before I knew her
That is what I saw
With my hungry wolf-eyes
Fell asleep so fast
On the last night
In my room
Before the mountains
And the boys up there
Used her up like air
She don’t care ’bout nothing
When she’s in town
No, she don’t care about nothing
When she feels down
The old man is gone
He got tired
He was once
A shiny vehicle
Leather jacket
And a three-day stubble
He had friends in town
In the shadows
Of his youth
Before I knew him
But I know he knew
Just what I think I know
Didn’t care about nothing,
Old man in town
Didn’t care about nothing
When he felt down
I’ve got friends in town
They are hungry
Times are hard
And time is precious
And they keep it all
Recreational
And they look so nice
And say wise things
Meat and men
Chickpeas and women
Everybody’s broken
Everything’s important
But they don’t care ’bout nothing
My friends in town
No, they don’t care ’bout nothing
When they feel down
I was drinking gin
I was nineteen
Ended up
Alone with sally
She was fragile then
But I’d just lost Annie
And I ran to town
Education
Shame and guilt
It never bit me
I still eat too fast
And I never listen
And I don’t care ’bout nothing
When I’m in town
No, I don’t care ’bout nothing
When I feel down
