The Ballad Of Paul K Lyrics

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 watch you'll find
It feels like time's not on your side

He doesn't like to mention
Applying for his pension
So 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 of 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 watch 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 watch you'll find
It feels like time's not on your side

I think this song is about when you're getting older but you've not been living like that, and you're slowly realising that you're getting older and thinking that not much is left to live for. When, obviously there is, it's just a stage every person goes through when they reach the older years :]

There are two Mcfly's. one that writes great stuff like this and one that writes about teenage girls they can't get. Tbh both are creditable, but this stuff cannot be touched. simple, true, and just great!

i think its about an old man who has wasted hes life drinking alcohol and not settling down and havning a propper family. he probably had kids and diddnt bother to see them cos hes always drunk. and now hes getting old hes starting to see that hes wasted hes life away.
