Troubles
Neil & Liam Finn

Does a man need a gun
To defend his freedom
Does he think that he knows best
When he caught you in his net
Can he lose the very thing
He was trying to protect

I will make you warm
I will leave you there

Troubles are good for the soul
You don’t have to hang your head low

Is a man so dumb
That he don’t like wisdom
Must be time to reflect
Think I might just take a walk
I won’t launch an invasion
Not yet

I will make you warm
I will leave you there

Troubles are good for the soul
You don’t have to hang your head low

Play a romance for someone
Make her believe she’s not alone
Making her laugh and then succumb
She’s the most innocent of all
You can do your merry dance
But you can beat no horse

You end up waiting for the wind to change
It will drive you crazy, blow your troubles away
I’m not saying that we’re here to stay
With a glass on the table, leave your troubles behind
