"The Ballad Of Paul K"







He's drinking cold Corona



Feels like is getting older 



Now and noticing how he's finding 



Grey hairs left in the shower 



Tattoos fade by the hour 



And he can't understand these feelings 



Why life is getting him down 



He used to smile now he frowns 



And cries inside 



Its been this way for a while 



And he can't seem to put things right 







When life has been unkind 



And you're losing your mind 



Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find 



It feels like time's not on your side 







He doesn't like to mention 



Applying for his pension 



So his children don't know he's heading 



Into a mid-life crisis 



He cant afford the prices for 



The new kitchen floor he's buying 



He's been a drunk all his life 



Two kids, a dog and a wife 



He doesn't know 



And in the daytime he just sits and watches television shows 







When life has been unkind 



And you're losing your mind 



Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find 



It feels like time's not on your side 







Dont know why but somehow 



The ones you love you hate now, 



You feel down and blue 



Look at what you've thrown away 



They stood beside you all the way 



Now its too late, its too late for you 







When life has been unkind 



And you're losing your mind 



Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find 



It feels like time's not on your side

w t f are u on about.. "if another band did it"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't see the problem with McFly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

im not the number 1 fan but this just happens to be an amazing song.. Im not saying im fond of every song they've done, just that IMO this song is really touching.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

McFly have chose a particular audience and genre to appeal to more than a majority, which has worked for their advantage seeing they are really popular to a lot of people atm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I personally think you are very quick to judge, there are some really great songs out there that no one even considers listening to because they are trapped in the mind of only liking a certain type of music, you can't simply ignore a whole genre of music because you have a bad impression on it. Forget McFly are pop-rock, foget they have released some very cheesy songs in the past and maybe judge the song on its own.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And yes life is hard, when your not given everything from the day you leave school you'd quickly loose your mind.. With a roof over your head and free food the only real strain on your life is maybe some rent for your family and money for a car. Try living on your own maybe you'll feel lonliness, and eventually understand the lyrics behind this song.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And don't think Im voting this the song of the century or anything, Im basically trying to explain that when I first heard this song the lyrics suprised me.. Didn't expect too much from this band either but it does make me think..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No 'OMGZ MCFLI! THEY SUX SO THA SONG SUXORS 2' will change my mind :wink: .

somthin more

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

school is basically there to babysit you. nothing more, and college isn't much better either, believe me Life starts at Uni because the tutors litterally don't care if you fail. After that I doubt mommy and daddy will look after you. Try not going to higher education after High school, without your parents what would you do?

[Azvareth]

Didn't they recently break up?

[terley]

Didn't they recently break up?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I believe thats a rumour, but I think one of the members was said to have wanted to go solo some day, thats all.

[Phil]

Want a song whose lyrics make you cry?

 

 

 

Tim McGraw - Don't Take The Girl.

[terley]

k.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

downloading...

[How2PK]

I wonder if they even wrote the lyrics themselves. The lyrics also seem to be a bit standard, working on cheap sentiment and so. Nothing too special, atleast it wouldn't make me cry. And something tells it's more fake than real, I mean, these guys are my age (and younger!), and I don't think they've had a real 'hard' youth either, I don't know why they chose this song.

I was on about the lyrics as well. It is the point that the lyrics are standard and work on cheap sentiment, I'n judging the song if I say that, right?
