Thena Dare: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)

My brother came home today
Said he had a real nice stay in jail
I didn’t post his bail
I love him without fail

But how am I supposed to cope
When he’s a dope doped up on dope
And there’s nothing I can do
Yeah, I love him -whoop de doo

Bone of my bone he may be
Even if the papers disagree
He may have had another father or mother
He may be a loser but
He’s my brother

My brother, he’s a trip
Mentally he’s jumped the ship
I say “uh-huh” to him on the phone
He’s talking but there’s no one home

And as he talks I start to see
This boy, he hasn’t learned a thing
Hard time wasn’t all that hard
He just got dealt a shitty card

Bone of my bone he may be
Even if the papers disagree
He may have had another father or mother
He may be a loser but
He’s my brother…

My brother says he met the Lord
One night when he was really bored
He saw a holy beaming light
It told him everything would be alright

And for his sake I hope it’s true
But me, I don’t know what to do
All I want’s a real good cry
But my brother- He’s sucked me dry

Bone of my bone he may be
Even if the papers disagree
He may have had another father or mother
He may be a loser but
He’s my brother…
