’Til the Cows Come Home Songtext
von Prefab Sprout

Aren′t you a skinny kid - just like his poppa
Where's he working? - he′s not working
Thin as the smile I wear
Cold as the beaches you comb
Till the cows come home


Tell the truth again - tell the truth again
Near to the knuckle, near to the knuckle
Why're you laughing? - you call that laughing?

Wearing your death's head grin - even the fishes are thin
When the boat comes in

Things are better now - things are better now
We′ve education
I doff my cap to a life that lets you
Dream a poor man′s dream
But he can't have his coffee with cream
Till the cows come home
