Band of Gold - The Boorays

Band of Gold Lyrics

(With this) With this band of gold
(To have) To have and to hold
(Words you) Pretty words you spoke
It made it Sound so convincing
(Now you) Now you say we're through
(I'll buy) I'll buy that one, too
(Once you) Once you said, 'I do'
So how come you didn't?
Yeah, I'll go away, now, but I won't get far
A hundred-thousand miles on my car
It's rusty and old and ain't running right, like me
Just like me
Like me
Just like me
Like me
(By you) By you I have stood

(Maybe) Maybe not so good
(Or strong) Or strong as I should
But try, Always tryin'
(With you) With you vows were spoke
(We knew) We knew required work
(Work for) Work for which we proved unqualified
Yeah, I'll go away now, but I won't get far
There ain't a dime left in our penny jar
It's cracked and dusty and hollow, now, like me
Just like me
Like me
Just like me
But you don't see
How this ruins me
Maybe I was wrong about you
But it's still so real
You're so beautiful
I can't even bring myself to doubt you
Or live without you
As you turn away, now
I wonder how far you'll go
We're already six years down the road
Did you throw away your maps a long time ago, like me?
Just like me
Like me
Just like me
Like me
You're not like me
