Lyrics James Reyne

James Reyne

Lion In The Winter

Living on the highway

Way outside of town

The lean to it is leaning

Bent & broken down

Got myself a hunting rifle

A hunchback in my head

Double barrelled misty morning

When I get out of bed

A lion in the Winter

A fool in love in Spring

Though I'm just your whipping boy

Don't mean a goddamn thing

I know the streets of this town

Are full of famous TV stars

So elegant & talented

They're taking sleigh rides in their cars

Talk to Willy Loman

Arthur Miller's in his bed

Dreams of retribution

Dancing in his head

I know I gave up drinking

But I'm on this beach tonight

A 6 pack and a cigarette

Well I don't feel so good just yet

Living on the highway

Way outside of town

The lean to it is leaning

Bent & broken down

Living on the highway

Bent & broken down

A lion in the Winter
