[Intro]

Who cares about the family silver

On badly painted walls?

Dangling from the family tree?

Blood runs thicker, blood runs cold;
B A E N.C.
Seize legacy before it's sold

Who cares if I am comfortable

In leafy rural lane

Left staring at the rain

Hung out left to dry

And wither on the washing line
E N.C.
Washed out, washed-out butterfly
[Harmonica Solo]
