Get It All Gone
Written by Steve Milligan on 15th March 2025
Lift with your knees, love
It’s a heavy one
It’s been in the family
Since I was young
I’d hate to leave it
No I don’t want to see it go
But this sinking ship’s
Gotta pay for the rising tide somehow
That one was my father’s
He was a busy one
Saved up for that thing for three years
While keeping us warm
But those suits in the city
Must be hurting more than me
To take every want that I earned
To pay for their needs
(Chorus)
So get it all gone
Get it all gone
Get it all gone
Til the lights come back on
That was my brother’s
He was a wild one
Left it with me to watch over
While he was gone
I guess it can go now
There’s no room for it in the ground
I’ll be joining him soon if I can’t
Get the chill out of this house
(Chorus)
That one is mine
Or at least it was
I worked hard the last 20-years
To pay it off
I guess you can’t move it
So I should be leaving now
I hope everything that I had
Is worth living without
(Chorus)
