Текст песни The Borders - Jack Savoretti

We were like brothers
Everybody said we looked the same
You a little taller and broader and bolder
We were afraid of your mother
Hell, she used to hit us so hard
And your dad took off when you were a baby

And you still hate me for my dad stuck around
And you pin me to the ground
Eight years old with a replica gun pushin′ in my skull
Saying you're gonna kill me if I tell
I never did and I never will
That house was living hell

I remembеr my mother when she found a nеw man
And your mother thought she found a partner
A father for you, no wonder you can′t stand me
I can't stand me, too, I can't stand me, too

Oh, your great mother repaired the anger in me
She spoke to me like I was an adult
Didn′t take sides and didn′t turn me against my dad
Then she took those pills and now she's gone

I see her in the night
In the corner of my eyes
And I see her in the night, ooh

Heard you glassed a boy back in the borders
Some naughty family boys are after you
And you pinned me to the wall and said my mother
Stole your inheritance from you
Well we ain′t, we ain't got a penny between us
Holding up this tin that we live in
And you pinned me to the wall and smashed the bottle
You rise the doors to hell and all within
