One Man & His Dog Lyrics by The Hotknives (UK)

The Way Things Are

0

I know a dear old pensioner, who lives with his little dog
They occupy a big old house, complete with an outside bog
A sad and lonely soldier, he's ignored by all the rest
He sits at home and polishes the medals on his chest
He worries about the future, and he dreams about he past
The kids have grown, he's all alone, and the years go by so fast
He has a thought - a feeling deep inside
He thinks about the ones he loved, the ones who fought and died
How many hearts buried in the fields among the lost forgotten souls, time will never heal?
It was raining nuts and bolts the day the fell in love
His hands were in his pockets, but his heart was high above
He took her home to meet his mum on a Saturday afternoon
They messed about but war broke out seven years too soon
He worries about the future, and he dreams about he past
The kids have grown, he's all alone, and the years go by so fast
He has a thought - a feeling deep inside
He thinks about the ones he loved, the ones who fought and died
How many hearts buried in the fields among the lost forgotten souls, time will never heal?
So don't forget that pensioner who lives with his little dog
They occupy a big old house, complete with an outside bog
He's a sad and lonely soldier, he's ignored like all the rest
He sits at home and polishes the medals on his chest
