Dan Mangan - Basket Lyrics
We are young
We have years ahead maybe
We might fall in love
Fall apart
Fall apart
Well we should try to start
So I'll go but I'm telling you I don't wanna go
Could be stuck here and happy
So there's a puzzle I work on endlessly
And I've got the sides and all the corners
But there's a space
Yeah there's a space
Lost some pieces I can't replace
So I'll be but I'm telling you I don't wanna be
Just a wasted puzzle piece
We are old
And our son took the dog away
And fair enough, guess we're tired all the time
All the time
And you know dogs they need ample time outside
So I'll stay but I'm telling you I don't, I don't wanna stay
So I'll brace myself against the wall and hope to God that I don't fall
My bones are worn, my hip won't hold
I used to be so young, how did I get so old?
Won't you take my cane and hold my hand
You're holding onto all I have
Just a basket full of memories
And I am losing more each day it seems
But if I can make it to the street
I'll steal a car or a bike whatever there is to steal
And it might get cold I just don't care
I'm going 'til I'm getting there
I'll ride my steed all through this town
'Til I have looked and I have found
Your peaceful memory
Won't you return to me?
Won't you return to me?

Dan Mangan Basket Comments
love. <3
I cry, every time, with this song. Sitting one table away from Dan and the band at Northcote SC, Melbourne in '10-'11... Could not approach to thank him for his music AND for this song and my grandparents & mum who lost memory. I took over custody of my Mum when my dad served divorce papers to her when she was in hospital. She didn't have legal capacity. The divorce couldn't go through til she could sign. Memory is everything. She's ok now.
Cannot ever thank this man enough.
i will never understand that... one person clapping? i've seen that on a couple of his videos, and it seems ridiculous.
Your mom claps on videos.
@Anaxagoras my mom is dead, as u well know, being my husband and all. 😎
@Amy Reade ok
So good !! Check out some of the covers on this...Dan would be proud: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTntvXPE2_U
The look he gives when one person starts clapping. Beautiful.
without fail I cry every time
The poor audio mix makes it seem that much more emotional.
his voice... comes to my heart
I cry every time.
Why is Dan Mangan still languishing in the realm of "Canadian stuff"?
Why is he not a celebrated artist? In Canada, at least, fuck.
Good guitar player, excellent emotional singer and song-writing that is a cut above.
So much emotion
as an alpha male, its tough to admit, but i have a tear in my eye. amazing
Dan looks like he's on the verge of tears in the last shot.
This song makes me want to cry. His others make me smile
I have an appreciation for all types of artists and music genres, but I don't think anything can top listening to and watching a singer songwriter as truly talented as you. You deserve so much more attention than you recieve. It's so beautiful to watch you sing such honest lyrics with nothing but an acoustic guitar. There is something so raw about you that I simply love! I feel every word, and that gravel and intensity in your voice when a song peaks... MY OH MY! Incredible Dan.
You move me!
Always sings and plays this sing with so much passion , I love it :)
Of all your songs, this is my favourite, Dan. Thank you! :)
im gonna see you for the second time this october :)
perfect.
makes me cry! x love you dan!
Nice, Nice, Very Nice
so much emotion, ugh I just belt it out at the top of my lungs and I can`t get over the feeling. thanks dan, you`re the greatest
this song is about his grandpa

This song is so emotional and beautiful. He is such a talented artist!
Hear hear! What a proud Canadian I am with music like this as an export. Can't wait til you come to Edmonton, Dan.
This is why I love him :) <3
