Richard Thompson - Dad's Gonna Kill Me

Band: Richard Thompson
Song: Dad's Gonna Kill Me
Album: Sweet Warrior [2007]
From: England

Out in the desert there's a soldier lying dead,
Vultures picking the eyes out of his head.
Another day that coulda been me there instead
Nobody loves me here,
Nobody loves me here.

Dad's gonna kill me.
Dad's gonna kill me.

You hear the booby trap and you're in pieces
With every bullet your risk increases.
Old Ali Baba, he's a different species.
Nobody loves me here,
Nobody loves me here.

Dad's gonna kill me.
Dad's gonna kill me.

I'm dead meat in my humvee frankenstein,
I hit the road block, God knows I never hit the mine
But that's alright -
I got lucky this time.

And Dad's gonna kill me.
Dad's gonna kill me.

I got a wife and kid -
Another on the way.
I might get home if I can live through today.
Before I came out here I never used to pray.
Nobody loves me here,
Nobody loves me here.

Dad's gonna kill me.

Well Dad's in a bad mood, Dad's got the blues.
It's someone elses mess that I didn't choose.
At least we're winning on the fox evening news.
Nobody loves me here,
Nobody loves me here.

Dad's gonna kill me.
Dad's gonna kill me.

Dawn Patrol went out and didn't come back
Hug the wire and pray like I told you, Mac
Or they'll shovelling bits of you into a sack.

And Dad's gonna kill me.
Dad's gonna kill me.

And who's that stranger walking in my dreams,
Who's that stranger cast a shadow cross my heart?
And who's that stranger I dare speak his name,
Must be old Death a-walkin',
Must be old Death a-walkin'.

Dad's gonna kill me.

Seven muzzle monkeys standing in a row
Standing waiting for the sandbox to blow.
Sitting targets in the wild west show.
Nobody loves me here,
Nobody loves me here.

Dad's gonna kill me.
Dad's gonna kill me.

Another angel got his wings this week
Charbroiled with his own Willie Pete
Nobody's dying if you speak double-speak.

And Dad's gonna kill me.
Dad's gonna kill me.
Dad's gonna kill me.

Thumbs up if you came here because you're watching SoA

In the end, Dad didn't killed me, but it was a hell of a fight....

[Apovlito]

Half-Sack was an Iraqi war veteran.I find it ironic.After all, Bagh-dad didn't kill him.

@montanealan I miss Sack, I love that silly cute idiot

[StrangeGirl484]

@kanczu That episode made me cry so much, The loss of Half-Sack, Able being taken. The little boy, Hale, and Chuck being shot.... :'( so sad
