lyrics

Right now is today and next year is tomorrow no no
man will never see a day without sorrow no no
man has beginnings, man has ends
but time goes on, as man descends

Tell my friend
that you’re much too fond of them
Tell my friend
you wouldn’t want it to happen to them
Tell my friend

Let me tell you a story about
one of my old friends
he didn’t play the game of life
that so his life did descend
I tell you truth
I think you’ll understand

It was there as surely as I wrote this song
Billy never did nothing to no-one
he never did nothing wrong

he thought he had it all down
there’s one thing that he didn’t know
you don’t play the game of life
that you know you gotta go


Everyone saw my friend
just before he died
We got the news
that Billy was dead
you know that we did cry

Tell my friend this has to be the end
Telling my friend this ain’t the end my friend
this ain’t the end

Gull Boy plays musical stories as Patti Smith once advised, going out on a thread, going over, then returning to tell the story
