The man in the corner

from Compound Analgesia by The Party Accident

/

lyrics

See the old man as he sits in the corner lost in the world in his head
Buy him a drink and he’ll tell you a story tales of the life he once led
He once was a boxer, a soldier a sailor
Or maybe a gangster, explorer a tailor
The story he tells talks of ruin and failure
But which one is true we don’t know
Dressed in a suit which suggests he was wealthy and once had a much better life
With the nose of a fighter a gold ring on his finger though he never mentions a wife
Scars and tattoos that all tell a story
Full of adventure dishonour or glory
He’ll speak with excitement and passion before he
Stares into space
That look on his face
That tells of a lifetime of pain
See the old man as he sits in the corner his eyes glazed and distant, he stares
The crowd’s had their fill of his drunk entertainment no one is left there who cares
He once was a boxer, a soldier a sailor
Or maybe a gangster, explorer a tailor
Tomorrow he’ll come back again to regale you once more
