KILLING JAR (Richard Thompson) My father was a judge, a solitary man He beat me to cry with the back of his hand I played with my sisters, he said I play it too rough It seems to me son, I didn't beat you enough You're no good, he said, you're no good (2x) I went from my schooling and I faced the wall "Tell me bum" said the teacher "Can you hear me at all?" I sweep down the hallways and I sweep up the grounds When the boss he tells me that I'm late on my rounds I'm no good, they say I'm no good (2x) I once had a songbird with a broken wing I cried and I cried, oh, it never would sing I once had a songbird, the apple of my eye I put it in a killing jar, just to watch him die I once had a sweetheart, caught 'er running around I hit her with a log chain and I put 'er underground I once had a sweetheart, oh a pretty little thing I knelt in a cold grave and I took back my ring I'm no good, they say I'm no good (4x) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- recorded by French, Frith, Kaiser, Thompson on "Invisible Means" (1990) Copyright Control @father @murder @bird @school filename[ KILLJAR MJ |
