Ian Rutherford - Plus Five - Grumpy Old Man

from Ruthers by Others vol. 1 by Ian Rutherford

/

about

This track was inspired by an incident on a tram a couple of years back when an old man tried to push me over as the tram started. It was an odd experience and I just wondered why.

lyrics

Grumpy old man
Look me in the eye
Tell me if it’s true
Do I irritate you?

Grumpy old man

Tell it to my face

Give it to me straight
Do I deserve this fate


Grumpy old man

What’s wrong with you
Give me the straight dope
Have you lost all hope


Grumpy old man

It doesn’t seem right

I’m looking at you

But am I looking at me


Chorus

Once you were a young man

Full of love to share

Family, friends, workmates
 to care


Now you are a sad man

Full of hate and bile

As you tried to hurt me

You smile
