Bone in the Soup

Words and music by Gino Matteo

Arranged by Gino Matteo and Chris Desmond

  

Don’t know what to do

I’m feeling so low

I work ‘til my fingers worn down to the bone, for nothing

Some day it’ll be something

I work the big halls, all over town

People come from miles around, for something

To me, it feels like nothing

Give me something to talk about

When you talk about a bone in the soup

 

Don’t know what to do

Got bills to pay

I some times work 20 hours a day, for nothing

Some day it’ll be something

I sleep by myself, I’m always alone

Been trying for years to find my way home to something

Something that’s better than nothing

Something to talk about

When you talk about a bone in the soup

                                       

Swallowed so many tears

Trying to come up

My blood runs so damn hard

My veins just open up

 

Don’t know what to do

I’m feeling so low

I work ‘til my fingers worn down to the bone, for nothing

Some day it’ll be something

Something to talk about

When you talk about a bone in the soup

Something to talk about

When you talk about a bone in the soup

People are always asking me what my lyrics mean. Well I say what any decent poet would say if you dared ask him to analyse his work: if you see it, darling, then it's there.
