"Wise Ol' Man" lyrics - THE FALL

The wise old man,
All and around,
He was,
Here at dusk,
His wisdom,
Ten thousand miles,
(Wise old man)

Wisdom
(Can get you out!)

On the bus,
The hill folk,
Remove,
Ear plugs,
Furrow his brow, (Wise old man)
To repulse!

(Wise old man can get you out!)

Wise old man,
Wise old man,
Wise old man.
(Wisdom)

He was last seen,
In a hurry,
In fact,
He's only nineteen,
Wise old man,
Didn't exist,
Wise old man, (Wise old man)
His butchered face,

Old man, wisdom
On heroes coat,
(Wise old man!)

Wise old man,
Wise old man,
Wise old man,
Ha ha ha ha ha,
Wise old man,
[?]
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Wise old man!

Ah ah ah aah,
They could meet,
He went to the butcher!
(Wise old man)
He is indistinguished. (Wise old man)

Wise old man,
Wise old man,
