Billy Brown
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life
Two kids, a dog, and a cautionary wife
While it was all going according to plan
Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man
He met his lover almost every single day
Making excuses for his dodgy holiday
Unto religion that he said and duly found
They didn't know that his faith was earthly bound
Brown… Oh Billy Brown.
Don't let the stars get you down.
Don't let the waves let you drown.
Brown… Oh Billy Brown.
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup.
Gonna shake the water out of every nook.
Oh Billy Brown.
Oh Billy Brown needed a place, somewhere to go
He found an island off the coast of Mexico
Leaving his lover and his family behind.
Oh Billy Brown needed to find some peace of mind
And on his journey and his travels on the way,
He met a girlie who was brave enough to say,
When they made love he shared the burden of his mind
Oh Billy Brown you are a victim of the times
Brown… Oh Billy Brown.
Don't let the stars get you down.
Don't let the waves let you drown.
Brown… Oh Billy Brown.
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup.
Gonna shake the water out of every nook.
Oh Billy Brown.
Brown… Oh Billy Brown.
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup.
Gonna shake the water out of every nook.
Oh Billy Brown.
Oh Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life.
Two kids, a dog, and a cautionary wife.
While it was all going according to plan
Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man.
