Begging Bowl Blues - Codeine Velvet Club

Windy old head

I sang along with the words that she said

Happy and bad

«Where goes the time?»

She asked me once

Oh and if you don’t mind

Give back my heart when you go Begging bowl blues

Wrapped round my head

Like a fistful of news nobody reads

Me and her name I can’t recall

I was never the same after she left me And oh I missed her so Never thought much of her reason to go And well, she cast a spell

Under I fell in a useless hello

Useless old day

Wishing the hours would take me away

Just for a while

Nobody’s crook, stealing an answer

Oh why does he look drunk as the day he was born?

Ragged and torn, lives for the money these days,

What a joke

And once, twice is a sin

Couldn’t get in with the elegant folk

I cannot wait any longer

And I cannot claim to be free

Whenever it seems like I’m losing

The begging bowl blues follow me And she cannot say that she’s happy

And I cant be sure if I care

I got wrapped up in the money

And the begging bowl blues kept me there
