Golden Earring - The Fighter lyrics
From the Albums: * Paradise in distress * Last blast of the century He was young when I first saw him (maybe) 19 or so And I knew he would go places He'd never dreamt he'd go There was a certain something Impossible to hide Dynamite in both his hands It swept Âem all aside So they nicknamed hem the killer And he lived up to the name The guys that tried to fight him Never came out quite the same And man, the crowd just loved him In those up and coming days Carried him on their shoulders While they showered him with praise Well, they loved him like a brother Cause he gave Âem all the thrills Carin' shit about no sef-defense Only going for the kill He took a beating now and then But stood there young and tough Never thought of backin' up When the going got too rough He came down like a shockwave The title easily won He just tore in there man, punching Taking two and landing one But that avalanche of punches Eventually took it's toll Like a constant drip of water Wears down the hardest stone And we all saw it comin' The inevitable fall The night he lost his title And the title wasn't all He just started slippin' Down skids slicker than grease His drawing power faded And the hero-worship ceased But he couldn't stop the fighting Custom-made for the trade While he blew away the money On friends succes had made I saw him fight again last night I wish I had been spared The sight of that poor old wreck For whom nobody no longer cared His eyes had lost their sparkle His legs hado lost their spring And it really was pathetic The way he stumbled through the ring- |
