lirik lagu surviving twin – loudon wainwright iii
last week i attended a family affair &
a few remarked upon my recent growth of facial hair
you look just like your father did
with that beard someone said
i answered back i am him even though my old man’s dead
i didn’t want to be him will at first i did
when i loved & looked up to him as a little kid
he sent me to his old school i was a numeral with his name & he gave me this gold signet ring
and he wore one just the same
and i guess that i believed him & probably it was true
when he told me i was just like him
that’s what some fathers do
but a father’s always older and my dad was rather tall
who says size doesn’t matter, he was big & i was small
i needed to be big enough to be someone someday
& i learned i had to beat him & that was the only way
i learned i had to fight him, my own flesh & bone & kin
buyt i felt i was ust like him can a man’s son be his twin
first we fought for my mother, that afforded little joy
when he left she was heart broken
& i was still their little boy
but i started to get bigger & to win the ugly game
when i made a little money & i got a bit of fame
& i saw how this could wound him
yes this could do the trick &
if i made it big enough i could kill him off quick
but how can you murder someone
in a way that they don’t die
i didn’t want to kill him, that would be suicide
