Nothing But The Same Old Story

Paul Brady with Donal Lunny

i'm sick of watching them break up
every time some birdbrain puts us down
making jokes on the radio
i guess it helps them drown out the sound
of the crumbling foundations
any fool can see the writing on the wall
but they just don't believe that it's happening

there's a crowd says i'm alright
say they like my turn of phrase
take me round to their parties
like some dressed up monkey in a cage
and i play my accordion
but when the wine seeps through the facade
it's nothing but the same old story
nothing but the same old story
