IT'S HAPPENED BEFORE, IT'LL HAPPEN AGAIN
On The Boards - 1970 (Taste)
A feather weight would knock me on to the ground,
And I don't think that I could take one more round,
A puff of wind would send me to the floor.
It's happened before, it'll happen again,
It's happened before, it happened again.
You only call to see me when I'm out,
A guilty conscience nags you I have no doubt,
You bribed the postman not to call anymore,
It's happened before, it'll happen again,
It's happened before, it happened again.
Another glass would send me to outer s***e,
The ceiling joins the floor,
Am I out of place?
And then I ask myself, what's it all for?
It's happened before, it'll happen again,
It's happened before, it happened again.
*** Note: I want to thank Nigel Saunders for help with this most difficult of all of Rory's songs to understand. Good on'ya Nigel.
