about

Dedicated to all the sportsmen who've died at war

lyrics

A space man screaming in his ship
As it spirals towards the sun
Another worthless life
Another family gone

A boy on top of a cliff
Falls to his death
Another young one gone
Another heartbreak

Another life gone
Another chosen one
Another broken heart
Another unsung art
It’s not a positive thing
But in some people eyes
It’s not a terrible thing
It’s just a negative loss

A gambler sitting on the floor
Tying to scavenge for more
Another lost soul
Another empty hole

A postman on the floor
Blood dripping from his head
Another angry man
Another Heartbreak

[Chorus]

You say it’s not true but I know it is
You say you’re the one but I know that you’re not
You’ll take my money and steal my house
As soon as those blank cheques have passed
You say that you’re for me but you sleep with my mother
You took the silver bullet but you left me your Bill
Hairy old man
Hairy old man
Hairy old man

[Chorus]
