It Goes On
Melodic Memories: Unveiling the Bittersweet Tale of 'It Goes On' by Hooked Like Helen
Lyrics
verse 1
Put on a pot of hot water
Put on a pot of hot water
Cause we're killin' time
cause we're killin' time
Starry eyed like mother
Starry eyed like mother
Like daughter, slaughter line
like daughter, slaughter line
You're lost and gone for good
You're lost and gone for good
Darlin' Clementine
Darlin' Clementine
And all's fine that ends fine
and all's fine that ends fine
So I look to the West
chorus 1
In my old Sunday best
So I look to the West
And I try to count the years
in my old Sunday best
Since you been gone
and I try to count the years
And every run down bar
since you been gone
And out of tune twelve string guitar
And every run down bar
I can still pluck out the melody
and out of tune twelve string guitar
Of your song
I can still pluck out the melody
And it goes on
of your song
It goes on
post chorus
We're due for a revolution
and it goes on
But all I got is wine
it goes on
Cheap lace and Holy union
verse 2
Delusion
We're due for a revolution
Love is blind
but all I got is wine
You cut me like a knife
cheap lace and Holy union
My sweet Valentine
Delusion
And all's fine that ends fine
Love is blind
So I look to the West
You cut me like a knife
In my old Sunday best
my sweet Valentine
And I try to count the years
and all's fine that ends fine
Since you been gone
chorus 2
And every run down bar
post chorus 2 (2x)
And out of tune twelve string guitar
bridge
I can still pluck out the melody
and if there's just one thing
Of your song
in this weary world I've learned
And it goes on
its not everybody
It goes on
gets what they deserve
And if there's just one thing
Chorus 3
In this weary world I've learned
Post chorus 3 (2x)
It's not everybody gets what they deserve
