Wise Ol' Man - The Fall

The wise old man

All and around

He was

Fair and just

His wisdom

Ten thousand miles

Wise old man

Wisdom

Get you out, baby!

On the bus

The hill folk

Remove

Ear plugs

Sorrow he’s proud (Wise old man)

To repulse

Wise old man can get you out!

Wise old man

His wisdom

He wasn’t seen

In the hareem

In fact

He was only nineteen

Old man, wisdom

And a hero’s coat (Wise old man)
