2.Dad's hands used to shake, but I never knew he was dying
I was thirteen, I never dreamed he could fall
And all the great aunts were red in the eyes from crying
I rang the bells, I never felt nothing at all
All the kings horses, all the kings men
Cannot bring him back again
3.Find me a bar or a girl or guitar
Now where do you go on a Saturday night?
I own this town, I spilt my wine
At the bottom of the statue of Colonel Light
And the streets are so wide, everybody's inside
Sitting in the same chairs they were sitting in last year
This is my town
All the kings horses, all the kings men
Wouldn't drag me back again
