Golden Gloves by Hammers from the EP 'Homeblokes' out June 22nd, 2018.

lyrics

The hounds, they barked, way off in the distance
That Summer breeze kept coming on strong
The drifters, full of rum and guts, came from the North
They made their presence known

The local priest
Was dearly loved in town
He found the lord at 17

A burley fella from the North spoke God's name in vain
Within earshot of the priest next to the bar
A smile appeared on the man of God as he walked the drifters way
He placed a hand upon his back

The local priest
Was dearly loved in town
Respected by one and all
Surely he was Heaven bound
But tonight the fire takes hold
Rage pulses through his bones
He failed the lord at 70

The drifters mate took offence
And gave the priest a violent shove
A right hook dropped him right where he stood
The priest was once a golden glove
Ah you'd never seen a man who fought so hard in your life
Every blow he threw would shake your soul
He just kept and kept on coming like a rabid dog
And their teeth just all fell to the floor

They fell to the floor

He's coming down so hard
From up so high
A deafening white noise
From when his black heart died

He traded his grace for
Only pain and lies
Now his shattered old mouth wars
With a broken smile

He's coming down so hard
From up so high
And his broken old mouth wars
With the reason why

I keep falling
You keep falling
We keep falling
We just keep falling
