Heartless Bastards - Skin And Bone Lyrics






Spent my time here as a child,
And now I'm passing through here and it's all coming back again.
Dilapidated buildings down on Main.
This small town was crumbling down, it was hard for me to stay.

And, oh, I, I find after all this time,
I am back here filled with all these memories.
Bittersweet, my home skin and bone.
This rust has worn through tearing up beneath the seams.

Driving down Salem Avenue.
It's all so familiar now, but so many things have changed.
And the rain came down all around.
Washed away the industry, washed it to the sea.

And, oh, I, I find after all this time,
I am back here filled with all these memories.
Bittersweet, my home skin and bone.
This rust has worn through tearing up beneath the seams.
And, oh, I want it to be like when I was young.
Oh, I want it to be like when I was young.

Ooh, ooh, ooh.

    At first it was going to be "Skin n' Bones" by Foo Fighters. I thought, this would be an odd but interesting selection for this band, but it's nice to know that it's an original to in the vibe of Led Zep's, "Your Time is Gonna Come"! Very cool tune. Just found this band! Thank God for YouTube!! :)
