Lyrics You’re Still Picking the Same Sore - Paul Kelly

I have known you both now, it seems, for so long
Can't get you together, so I've written you a song
Take it as you please
With a frown or with a smile
Oh think about it for a while
You're still fighting
An old, old war
You just keep on picking the same sore
First I hear one story,
Like it's the cold hard facts.
Then I hear the other say
No, it was never like that
One day I'm a doctor,
The next day I'm a guide
And you both want me to take sides
You're still fighting
A cold, cold war
Youjust keep on picking the same sore
No matter what I do
I know that I can't win
First he said what she said then she said what'd ya hear from him
Neither one of you will ever take the blame
You both should be ashamed
When you first met
You were just like kids in a candy store
Now you both keep picking the same sore
I think I'll get together
All your friends and me
And we'll buy a boat, to send you off to sea
You can sail that ship to a far off distant shore
To keep on fighting evermore
There'll be no one there for you to bore
And you can both keep picking the same sore
