Generate meaning
1
Jimmy was a local boy but he's seen much more than a change in the weather,
2
Sitting in a uniform of a three-piece suit and the ribbons from his past,
3
Looking for a little boy at the bar with the mouth who thinks he's clever now,
4
Dreaming of a day that he got home from the war to his childhood sweetheart,
5
No he don't need anyone, there's no-one there for him,
6
Just a feeling of an empty place deteriorating.
7
Jimmy was a local boy but he's seen much more than I'm bound to ever,
8
A member of a dying breed that sat and wait as it all just falls apart,
9
Dreaming of a day that's oh-so long ago that he can't remember right,
10
There was a time a man could still be a man and be proud to use his heart.
11
No he don't need anyone, there's no-one there for him,
12
There was really only one, now he misses how she sounds;
13
He frowns,
14
Line 'em up and he puts them down,
15
It's sad; this town,
16
Seems to fail to appreciate the man.
17
No he don't need anyone, there's no-one there for him,
18
No he don't feel anymore, cos Jimmy's so thick-skinned,
19
And a long, long time ago, when he could break your heart,
20
There was really only one, now he misses how she sounds;
21
He frowns,
22
Line 'em up and he puts them down,
23
It's sad; this town,
24
Seems to fail to appreciate what he's about;
25
Line 'em up and he puts them down,
26
It's sad; this town,
27
Seems to fail to appreciate the man.
