lirik lagu paul odette - that old gang of mine
once we were a family, a unit fine and strong
we played and loved and laughed and cried and sang a simple song
then the light came and our lives were very wrong
one was a mother, she kept her children safe
told them why they should not sin and kept them in their place
but mother, the children must grow someday
and then, she was a child, she’d lost her honored place
for the children knew she, too, could sin and she tried to save her face
by saying, i was in a state of grace
that old gang of mine, that old gang of mine
that old gang of mine, where have we gone?
one knows love and she loves it very much
so when he walked away from her, she drank from another cup
yes she did, and she loved it very much
one is old, not a pretty sight to see
gives her heart to anyone, she even gave it to me
yes she did, not a pretty sight to see
one is a child, it’s the only life she knows
and the thing you find with children is they still have room to grow
and be strong, child, you must brave the winter snow
that old gang of mine, that old gang of mine
that old gang of mine, where have we gone?
one is a loser, he can never seem to win
you pick him up and throw him down, then pick him up again
he’s losing and he never seems to win
one is the clown, you’ll laugh until you cry
make me laugh just one more time, before i say goodbye
i’ll remember you by the laughter in your eyes
one is a charmer, his smile is like the sun
he’ll take everything you’ve ever owned, then say goodbye and run
he’s a charmer and his smile is like the sun
that old gang of mine, that old gang of mine
that old gang of mine, where have we gone?
[instrumental break]
one knows truth, he will die a lonely way
and though tomorrow, he may change, today is just today
you are lonely but today is just today
one is an eggsh~ll, she believes the world is hers
he treats her like a piece of rock and she plays along
one of these days, she’s in for a rather big shock
one is the pilot of this sinking ship of fools
he’ll lead you on to god knows where in a raging whirlpool
he’s lost, my friend, on this sinking ship of fools
that old gang of mine, that old gang of mine
that old gang of mine, where have we gone?
one was afraid of the pain that love can bring
but pain is just a part~time job and a piece of everything
you are foolish to feel the pain that love can bring
one is a poet, or at least pretends to be
i sing about the things i feel and the things that have touched me
and i’m wandering, or at least pretend to be
and all of us are puppets on a silver thread of life
the wind will blow and turn us around, we only have one life
why do we live it on a silver thread of life?
that old gang of mine, that old gang of mine
that old gang of mine, where have we gone?
