Old Chickens Make Good Soup Lyrics by Tom Billington

Make No Bones

2010

Do, do-do. Do, do-do do (Do, do-do. Do, do-do do)
Do, do-do. Do, do-do do (Do, do-do. Do, do-do do)
Do, do-do. Do, do-do do (Do, do-do. Do, do-do do)
Do, do-do. Do, do-do do (Do, do-do. Do, do-do do)
Do... (Do...)
Stop trying so hard to stop
Beating yourself up
The cream always comes to the top
And we used to be thick as thieves
Sound as a pound of beef
As mad as a mouthful of beets
But that's the trouble with people like me:
We take too much to heart. (take too much to heart.)
Come back to the start
And I walked you home in the fog
So close we almost snogged;
But you were too perfect a cog
For my irregularities --
A perfect parity
You told me you didn't love me
To you I would give everything, (To you I would give everything,)
But you want nothing back. (But you want nothing back.)
You take everything back. (You take everything back.)
Where's my friend?
She was my oldest friend
But old chickens make good soup, (old chickens make good soup,)
And I'm not gonna lose
Any more sleep over you
I'm not even gonna try
So what are you gonna do about it:
Just sit and watch me cry
Into my soup? All but doubt it!
But love could just curl up and die
For all I care...
For all I care...
For all I care
You will be lonely
Without me. I know you
Better than you know yourself. (Better than you know yourself.)
You will be lonely (You will be lonely)
Without me. I know you (without me. I know you)
Better than you know yourself. (Better than you know yourself.)
To you I would give everything, (To you I would give everything,)
But you want nothing back. (But you want nothing back.)
You take everything back... (You take everything back...)
You take everything back... (You take everything back...)
You take everything back. (You take everything back.)
Do, do-do. Do, do-do do (Do, do-do. Do, do-do do)
Do, do-do. Do, do-do do (Do, do-do. Do, do-do do)
Do, do-do. Do, do-do do (Do, do-do. Do, do-do do)
Do, do-do. Do, do-do do (Do, do-do. Do, do-do do)
Do... (Do...)
Do, do-do. Do, do-do do (Do, do-do. Do, do-do do)
Do, do-do. Do, do-do do (Do, do-do. Do, do-do do)
Do, do-do. Do, do-do do (Do, do-do. Do, do-do do)
Do, do-do. Do, do-do do (Do, do-do. Do, do-do do)
Do... (Do...)
