Lyrics
Family And Genus
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.
If,
If I
If I ever wander on by
Could
Could you
Flag me down and beg me to
Drop what I'm doing and sit beside you
So did
Did they ditch us and leave us with nothing to say
Where
Where we
Where we will wait for friends and family
To pass away or come in handy
Oh
Oh dear
A rotten summer, a rotten hope, dear
Where, where we wait for to lose our friends and family
To fame and fire, to dame or dandy
To pass away or come in handy
