The Ol Beggars Bush Lyrics

    Stuck on limbo bridge
    Where below me ol' Nick grins
    Then laughs through the chaos of it all
    Gets up off his chair
    Spins a jig to my despair
    He can't wait to count the times where I went wrong

    Underneath the bush, lay a beggar out of luck
    On his lips, was a taste he forgets
    His hopes were filled with sand
    That he watched fall through his hand
    Every grain, was a lifetime of regret

    So go and bow your head and weep
    For your world won't change while you sleep
    Yeah, go and bow your head and weep
    For the summer that was lost, now is gone

    Fertile Mrs. Moore had thirteen kids
    But still looked good
    Till her ol' man jumped leave on a ship
    She never read a book
    But by Christ she understood
    That the meanin' of life
    Starts in bed

    So go and bow your head and weep
    For your world won't change while you sleep
    Yeah, go and bow your head and weep
    For the summer that was lost, now is gone

    Killer Kilbain kicked me senseless everyday
    I hope that bastard is beneath a head of stone
    Where I'd dance upon his grave
    For all the madness I now crave
    While the scars that remain are still a curse
    So I'm stuck on a limbo bridge
    Where below me ol' Nick grins
    Then laughs through the chaos of it all
    Gets up off his chair
    Spins a jig to my despair
    He can't wait to count the times where I went wrong
    Yeah, he can't wait to count the times where I went wrong
