Foolish Father Lyrics
Simple love songs
Drenched in bored songs
Coming out a long song
Hesitate to throw your stones
When criminals are victims
Looking back in to our past
There's no cause for these symptoms now
Forgive your foolish father
He did the best that he could do
You are his daughter
He'd do anything for you
Think of how destroyed he feels
Walking to his grave plot
Knowing that the one he loves
Hates him with all of her heart
Forgive your foolish father
He did the best that he could do
You are his daughter
He'd do anything for you
Forgive your foolish father
He did the best that he could do
You are his daughter
He'd do anything for you
Anything for you, anything for you
Anything, anything
Anything for you
Anything for you
Everything will be alright in the end
Everything will be alright in the end
Everything will be alright in the end
Everything will be alright in the end
Drenched in bored songs
Coming out a long song
When criminals are victims
Looking back in to our past
There's no cause for these symptoms now
He did the best that he could do
You are his daughter
He'd do anything for you
Walking to his grave plot
Knowing that the one he loves
Hates him with all of her heart
He did the best that he could do
You are his daughter
He'd do anything for you
He did the best that he could do
You are his daughter
He'd do anything for you
Anything for you, anything for you
Anything for you
Anything for you
Everything will be alright in the end
Everything will be alright in the end
Everything will be alright in the end

i love the song but not the message. my father has been emotionally absent throughout my 20 odd years. i resent him, profoundly. but at least it's deterred me from the idea of ever having children. good god i would just end up being him. im a heartless bastard but everything will be alright in the end.
I'm not sure how much I totally agree with these lyrics. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of dads who don't even try to connect/ look after their children properly. But it does bring me hope that as dads, if we try our best, our kids will hopefully look back one day and see that we tried, even though we (pretty much guaranteed) make a lot of mistakes along the way!
Is it just me or does parts of the tune have a om shanti/hare Krishna/mantra feel to it? I can't put my finger on it , but it sounds like it incorporates some element.
