Tunnels

Tunnels - Johnny Flynn

Written by：Johnny Flynn

I knew no vices and I knew no sins

I knew the words but they didn't sink in

Stayed out those tunnels that pull people down

There's more of those tunnels in your home town

Fell far from grace

So far I couldn't see

And oh under ground

I wasn't that far from the tree

We're all digging if you wanna know

Fixing digging far too slow

Far too slow

We dug for money

We shoveled four tons

And the end wasn't funny

We'd all had fun

Limping and broken the tunnel fell in

I've been limping from tunnels since

My original sin

Birthright's a trouble my father dug too

He got where

He was going at the age of sixty two

We're all digging if you wanna know

Fixing digging far too slow

Far too slow

A new pair of boots

And a chisel in your name

Says we could be in the same hole

Attracting the same blame

If I knew the way to the ornamental tree

I would tell you we'd be jailbirds

I'd be winking twice for free

Don't call on your brother

Odds are he's here and all

Being gentle with the people

Who were knock kneed from the fall

We're all digging if you wanna know

Fixing digging far too slow

Far too slow

We're all digging if you wanna know

Fixing digging far too slow

Far too slow
