The Bakers - This Old Sweater

from Hartley & the Jubb present A Pop Record by Various Artists

lyrics

This old Sweater/Has been stuck in the back/for such a long long time
Real easy to miss/Pass over it every single time
It just never seemed/to be the type of sweater I would want to call mine
And now it's thrown in my face/ cover me up and pull the wool over my eyes

This old sweater/Doesn't fit me now like they told me it would
I've waited for years/To be cozy , just like they said it would
But now it's all wrong /It's too loose it's too tight it's just not right
But they always said
It doesn't matter, it's really in your mind

When you've waited for years to shrink,
Not to be caught or tangled in the fabric of time
Suddenly too small
Feel the same, you've just wasted time

When you've waited years to shrink
Or not to be caught or tangled in the fabric of time
Suddenly too small
Running to stand still, you've just wasted time

This big old sweater
may just be a little past it's prime
Stretched out, thread bare
would always say just give it a little more time
But now I'm pulled
Under the wool again, til I feel cool again
but I can't relax
with nowhere to run and hide
