Old Pair Of Jeans
Worn Threads of Reflection: Ocean Colour Scene's Tale Beyond the Spurs
Lyrics
I ain't a cowboy no more
I no longer identify as a cowboy
I know what you're thinking
Aware of your thoughts
Guess you heard it before
Assuming you've heard this message before
I get so tired yet can't sleep
Exhausted but unable to sleep
Or maybe I'm there this could all be a dream
Uncertain if reality or a dream
I wish you didn't get hung up so easily
Desire for you not to be easily upset
When you're bound to fall apart
Anticipation of emotional breakdown
You always fall apart at the seams
Frequent emotional breakdowns
I'm so worn, I'm so torn
Feeling worn out and torn
Tossed aside like an old pair of jeans
Comparable to being discarded like old jeans
I ain't a cowboy no more
Reiteration of not being a cowboy
You won't hear my spurs clinck down the hall
Absence of characteristic cowboy sounds
I learnt the trade off the street
Learned life skills from the streets
I hold my head up everytime time that we meet
Maintaining pride when encountering you
I wish you didn't get hung up so easily
Wish for emotional resilience in you
When you're bound to fall apart
Expectation of emotional disintegration
You always fall apart at the seams
Pattern of falling apart at the seams
I'm so worn, I'm so torn
Expressing emotional weariness and torn feelings
Tossed aside like an old pair of jeans
Similar to being discarded like old jeans
Well I got no choice
No alternative; you have control over me
You know you just take me over
Acknowledging being overtaken by you
Well you'll never see me dyin'
Assurance of not succumbing easily
Or ever stop me tryin'
Determination to persist in efforts
God willin' always keep me flyin'high
Hopeful attitude, aiming for high aspirations
I ain't a cowboy no more
Restating not identifying as a cowboy
I know what you're thinking
Recognizing familiarity with your thoughts
Guess you heard it before
Assuming previous exposure to this message
I learnt the trade off the street
Reaffirming learning from the streets
I hold my head up everytime that we meet
Maintaining self-respect in our encounters
I wish you didn't get hung up so easily
Desire for emotional resilience in you (repeated)
When you're bound to fall apart
Anticipation of emotional breakdown (repeated)
You always fall apart at the seams
Reiteration of falling apart at the seams
I'm so worn, I'm so torn
Reiteration of feeling worn out and torn
Tossed aside like an old pair of jeans
Similar to being discarded like old jeans (repeated)
Yeah, like an old pair of jeans
Reiteration of being discarded like old jeans
Yeah, like an old pair of jeans
-Yeah, like an old pair of jeans
-Like an old pair of jeans
Emphasizing the analogy of being like old jeans
