It Never Lasts

Save me a seat at your table and I’ll bring my 6 string, I’ll show that chord that you couldn’t get your ring finger round, we’ll dissect the news & set this old blue rock to rights, & laugh about how we thought the good times would never end, though they never last, no it never lasts.

Let your candle burn any which way that you can. There ain’t no end of the line & the rain don’t ever last.

Set yourself aside like a wallflower looking out, I bet you 10 quid you could pinpoint all the shit that tears you down, I’ll bet you double quits the good times will swing on back around, like a dreich Scottish winter you know that shit never lasts, no it never lasts, no it never lasts.

Let your candle burn any which way that you can, There ain’t no end of the line & the rain don’t ever last.

Won’t you settle on down, take a load off & don’t you be unkind, cherry blossoms, and thorns on a rose, you know it never lasts, no it never lasts.

You know the wheels on the bus they keep going round n round, there ain’t nothing gonna stop it but don’t you let it run you outta town. Have love, will travel dive in go swimming when you get wet, ride it all day long coz you know that shit never lasts, no it never lasts, no it never lasts.
