Music & Lyrics: Josh Olivier-Mason

lyrics

You set off from home at twilight
Kiss the missus goodnight
Tell the baby maybe this will be the last fight
But you know - oh - oh -oh -oh
It won’t.

The club is in the city
The traffic it ain’t pretty
And the A.M. preacher’s preaching the same sermon you heard last week
About them who love the lord and them who
don’t.

They say when you look back at all the pain you’re just a
pillar of salt.
So keep on driving down the highway to forget
It’s not your fault.

The place is barely half full
With drunks drinking that same swill
They’ve been serving here since you were back in high school
And first put on your gloves and stepped into the ring

You’re going up in twenty
The house is getting plenty
Of action against a guy who might be close to seventy
He’s swaying up there now
Like he’s about to sing

They say when you look back at all the pain you’re just a
pillar of salt.

So keep your hands up and keep moving to forget
It’s not your fault.

You’re sitting in your corner
A solitary mourner
The fight’s over you couldn’t look any forlorn-er
With one eye closed and a cut across
your cheek.

But you got what you’ve been missing
Can’t be filled with drugs or kissing
A hole so deep it’s like well where kids go missing
That place you know by heart but will not
speak.

They say when you look back at all the pain you’re just a
pillar of salt.

So keep on whistling past the well till you forget
It’s not your fault.

They say when you look back at all the pain you’re just a
pillar of salt.

So you keep fighting everybody to forget
It’s not your fault
Yes you keep fighting everybody to forget
It’s not your fault.
