Lyrics

Old Dog

[Verse 1]

I saw that brow of yours write us off at the first glance

A sweaty red complexion for a head you're fuckin' fumin'

Conversin' with the bag o' skin you call your neighbour

The comic word exchanges set the tone and set the future

[Pre-Chorus]

Seeking refuge in The Pines

With all your petty fellow swines

Do us all a favour and go pack in that mouldy behaviour

[Chorus]

The old dog is done

They killed him off when he was only young

The old dog is done

They killed him off when he was only young

[Verse 2]

So go ahead and take a piss on my good nature

Your biscuit teeth are crumbling

They strain as you near failure

You are the river bank, I am the meander

Your bitterness is overflowin'

Till that soil for I'll keep goin'

[Pre-Chorus]

Seeking refuge in The Pines

With all your petty fellow swines

Do us all a favour and go pack in that mouldy behaviour

It's not just your fault you're a dick

I'd say your old man was a prick

Do us all a favour and go pack in that mouldy behaviour

[Chorus]

The old dog is done

They killed him off when he was only young

The old dog is done

They killed him off when he was only young

[Bridge]

Till that soil to heal your soul

Till that soil to heal your soul

Till that soil to heal your soul

Till that soil to heal your soul

Till that soil to heal your soul

Till that soil to heal your soul

Till that soil to heal your soul

Till that soil to heal your soul

[Chorus]

The old dog is done

They killed him off when he was only young

The old dog is done

They killed him off when he was only young

[Outro]

The old dog is done

(Till that soil to heal your soul)

(Till that soil to heal your soul)

They killed him off when he was only young

(Till that soil to heal your soul)

(Till that soil to heal your soul)

The old dog is done

(Till that soil to heal your soul)

(Till that soil to heal your soul)

They killed him off when he was only young

(Till that soil to heal your soul)

(Till that soil to heal your soul)
