The Jumper Lyrics by Hugh Coltman

Good Grief

2024

Well, I wore my father's jumper for the first time today
It never would've fit him, though it does fit me
His name in big old letters, just written on the back
I wore my father's jumper, I don't think he'll want it back
The jumper ain't a new one, these holes are secondhand
Probably why it's a present given to my old man
My brother or auntie, there's just no way to tell
It's got my dad's name on it, and so it serves me well
Could've been a better son
Been a good man, could I be a better one?
For worse or better, better or worse
I am the man of my birth
Well, there's a gun shop and a sex shop facing off across the street
This hard sell's getting harder than what's stuck here in between
We fulfill every fetish, every single little whim
My jumper's no exception, 'cept it belonged to him
Well, a jumper, oh, it can be warm as winter with the stone
Jumper kept me from the cold, kept me from being alone
Well, it's funny after everything he toiled to give his sons
Stupid little jumper, stupid orphan son
Could've been a better son
Been a good man, could I be a better one?
For worse or better
For worse or better, yeah
For worse or better, better or worse
I am the man of my birth
