Tall Travis – The Rats and the Roses Lyrics
Artist: Tall Travis
Song: The Rats and the Roses
Well Lopside {etter was a strange-looking Oedipus
And no one whom had a line to reflect
Maybe forty years back it wasn’t quite so dreadful
Now I wouldn’t go there if you paid for my seat
Old lady used to have nine children
But they all move on to the US of A
Her husband died and only left her there with millions
It was him and her and the rats and the roses
Dear I’m from the mist like like a vulture to a carcass
Young men, straw men, debonair
Shе was old and weak and didn’t want to see him hurting
So she said he could stay just for a night
Wеll one turned to two turned to three turned to four
As soon as he knew he’d be staying at the metaphor could
I kept my record too good too, it was hard to ignore
And they {?} each other, now the rats and the roses
Well late one night I heard the kissin’ bell a-ringin’
And the young freighter was heavier than ever before
She’s here but our connected servants’ door was swingin’
And the cops believed every lie they swore
Soon tired and my lantern’s gabling
Trouble’s looking out and I blink long past
Performing can be hard, but it’s the piano I can’t handle
So I left her sleeping with the rats and the roses
Today he’s travelling in Spain or in Italy
The old one’s still ‘neath the garden bed
And I’m stuck here in this cell built for two
And there ain’t nothing left but the rats and the roses
