Old Timer Lyrics by Hotel Lux

Hands Across The Creek

2023

You're everything I wanna be and less
You work so hard but I try my best
And sometimes it's not good enough
But it's my best
I don't really want the foreman's job
Nor be a champagne socialist
I don't really want the nine five grind
Nor be a psychotherapist
Only seen my dad cry once and it was at the football (Old timer)
I think that says an awful lot about masculinity (Old timer)
Old timer
I don't know how to build a wall
But they reckon I can rip off The Fall
I could write some words instead
Don't use cement, I use lead
I could hardly be the ideal bloke
I just ain't built for it
I don't wanna be the ideal bloke
What does it mean anyway?
Old timer
Only seen my dad cry once and it was at the football (Old timer)
I think that says an awful lot about masculinity (Old timer)
Old timer
Old timer
Talk about your granddad shooting fascists down
How your old man built the houses in the market town
And you're just messing around
And you're just messing around
Old timer
Old timer
Old timer
Old timer
