Begging Bowl Blues

Begging Bowl Blues - Codeine Velvet Club

Windy old head I sang along

With the words that she said

Happy and bad

Where goes the time

She asked me once oh

And if you don't mind

Give back my heart when you go

Begging bowl blues wrapped

'Round my head

Like a fistful of news nobody reads

Me and her name I can't recall

I was never the same after she left me

And oh I missed her so

Never thought much of

Her reason to go

And well she cast a spell

Under I fell in a useless hello

Useless old day wishing the hours

Would take me away just for a while

Nobody's crook stealing an answer

Oh why does he look drunk

As the day he was born

Ragged and torn

Lives for the money these days

What a joke

And once twice is a sin

Couldn't get in with the elegant folk

I cannot wait any longer

And I cannot claim to be free

Whenever it seems like I'm losing

The begging bowl blues follow me

And she cannot say that she's happy

And I can't be sure if I care

I got wrapped up in the money

And the begging bowl

Blues kept me there
