Thursday's Band - Difficult Man Lyrics

You were a difficult man with difficult ways
Clever and bitter, ironic and sharp
You rode a scooter, you made us love you
You were a difficult man with difficult ways

Growing up in Cape Town you were sick as a little boy
Your father left when you were just three years old
You left your mum to go to work when you were fourteen
Finding your way in a difficult world as a difficult man

You were a difficult man with difficult ways
Clever and bitter, ironic and sharp
You rode a scooter, you made us love you
You were a difficult man with difficult ways

Still can't say I'm sorry
I couldn't tell you at the time
For the heartbreak that I brought you
All the pain I thought was mine
I can write this song about you
Without any sense of hate
You can take it that I'm sorry
But I guess it's just too late

You were a difficult man with difficult ways
Clever and bitter, ironic and sharp
You rode a scooter, you made us love you
You were a difficult man with difficult ways
