Johnny Flynn - Tunnels

Johnny Flynn @ PureGroove instore LONDON.

30th of October 2008.


lyrics;
i knew no vices and i knew no sins
i knew the words but they didn't sink in
stayed out those tunnels, and pulled people down,
theres more of those tunnels in your home town
fell far from grace so far i couldn't see
no underground i wasnt that far from the tree
we're all digging if you wanna know
fixing, digging, far to slow, far to slow.

we dug for money, we shoveled for tounges,
the end wasnt funny but we all had fun.
limping and broken the tunnel fell in
i've been limping from tunnels since my original sin
birthright's a trouble, my father dug too
he got where he was going at the age of 62

we're all digging if you wanna know
fixing, digging, far to slow, far to slow.

a new pair of boots and a chisel in your name
says we could be in the same hole attracting the same blame
if i knew the way to the ornamental tree
i would tell you, we'd be jailbirds, i'd be winking twice for free
don't call your brother, odds are he's here and all
being gentle witht he people who were knock-kneed from the fall

we're all digging if you wanna know
fixing, digging, far to slow, far to slow.

we're all digging if you wanna know
fixing, digging, far to slow, far to slow.
