Happy Fathers Day
« on: June 17, 2007, 10:45:00 am »
Father of mine
 Tell me where have you been
 You know I just closed my eyes
 My whole world disappeared
 Father of mine
 Take me back to the day
 When I was still your golden boy
 Back before you went away
 
 I remember blue skies
 Walking the block
 I loved it when you held me high
 I loved to hear you talk
 You would take me to the movie
 You would take me to the beach
 You would take me to a place inside
 That is so hard to reach
 
 Father of mine
 Tell me where did you go
 You had the world inside your hand
 But you did not seem to know
 Father of mine
 Tell me what do you see
 When you look back at your wasted life
 And you dont see me
 
 I was ten years old
 Doing all that I could
 It wasnt easy for me
 To be a scared white boy
 In a black neighborhood
 Sometimes you would send me a birthday card
 With a five dollar bill
 I never understood you then
 And I guess I never will
 
 Daddy gave me a name
 My dad he gave me a name
 Then he walked away
 Daddy gave me a name
 Then he walked away
 My daddy gave me a name
 
 Daddy gave me a name
 Daddy gave me a name
 Then he walked away
 Daddy gave me a name
 Then he walked away
 My daddy gave me a name
 
 Father of mine
 Tell me where have you been
 I just closed my eyes
 And the world disappeared
 Father of mine
 Tell me how do you sleep
 With the children you abandoned
 And the wife I saw you beat
 
 I will never be safe
 I will never be sane
 I will always be weird inside
 I will always be lame
 Now Im a grown man
 With a child of my own
 And I swear Im not going to let her know
 All the pain I have known
 
 Then he walked away
 Daddy gave me a name
 Then he walked away
 My dad gave me a name
 Then he walked away
 My daddy gave me a name
 Then he walked away
 My daddy gave me a name
 Then he walked away
 Then he walked away
 Then he walked away
 
 Father of Mine, By Everclear

*nice edit, im glad released how stupid your original post was. maybe there is hope for you yet.*
 
 
 well obviously I like it, and i like the band too. they put on a great show. ive seen them at the hfstival before, and a few times at the 930. always a great time.
 but you are entitled to your own opinion, no matter how stupid or moronic it might be. music is subjective (www.dictionary.com if you don't know what "subjective" means and considering the way you attempt to definatively pronounce judgement on the song and band, you most likely do not).
 have a nice day.

Kiss me goodnight and say my prayers
 Leave the light on at the top of the stairs
 Tell me the names of the stars up in the sky
 A tree taps on the window pane
 That feeling smothers me again
 Daddy is it true that we all have to die
 
 At the top of the stairs
 Is darkness
 
 I closed my eyes and when I looked
 Your name was in the memorial book
 and what had become of all the things we planned
 I accepted the commiserations
 Of all your friends and your relations
 But there's some things I still don't understand
 
 You were so tall
 How could you fall?
 
 Some photographs of a summer's day
 A little boy's lifetime away
 Is all I've left of everything we've done
 Like a pale moon in a sunny sky
 Death gazes down as I pass by
 To remind me that I'm but my father's son
 
 I offer up to you
 This tribute
 I offer up to you
 This tank park salute
 
 
 For my dad, who died in 1991.
