Hair That Red Lyrics by Clare Bowditch And The Fe
Album : Autumn Bone
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
My friend Nick was made up of coloured bits
That he shot to the stars and left in a trail
That was our friend Nick, who grinned like a lunatic
And talked like a bird, who knew all the old song words;
"He's a smoker, he's a joker, he's a midnight toker"
and "Help me I think I'm falling in love again."
A son, a brother, a father and my mother always said
"You've gotta love a man with hair that red."

My friend Nick, a bundle of scattered bits
That once in a while he tried to collect.
The only things left big enough to hold him in
Were rivers and dreams.
He told me he'd love me when we were sixty.
He's a sun, and a spring, and a blocked up darling.
She said, "You've gotta love a man with hair that red."

Our friend Nick was made of a billion bits
And we'll only ever know four or three each,
But as the song goes, "Life is but a tapestry
Of rich and royal hue,"
And you've a cloak fit for a lion King.
And in case you're still wondering,
Indeed we loved you man with hair that red.
My friend Nick was made up of coloured bits   That he shot to the stars and left in a trail   That was our friend Nick, who grinned like a lunatic   And talked like a bird, who knew all the old song words;   "He's a smoker, he's a joker, he's a midnight toker"   and "Help me I think I'm falling in love again."   A son, a brother, a father and my mother always said   "You've gotta love a man with hair that red."      My friend Nick, a bundle of scattered bits   That once in a while he tried to collect.   The only things left big enough to hold him in   Were rivers and dreams.   He told me he'd love me when we were sixty.   He's a sun, and a spring, and a blocked up darling.   She said, "You've gotta love a man with hair that red."      Our friend Nick was made of a billion bits   And we'll only ever know four or three each,   But as the song goes, "Life is but a tapestry   Of rich and royal hue,"   And you've a cloak fit for a lion King.   And in case you're still wondering,   Indeed we loved you man with hair that red.
